The purpose of being born-again is to cure pain that you are dealing with both spiritually and physically. The full force of God's love will cure your temple of anything that hinders your spiritual progression. When God touches you, he makes you born-again by filling your soul with his love. God baptizes you with the Holy Ghost, and you can literally feel the power of the Holy Spirit blessing you, filling you with unexplainable joy. This event gives you a second chance to change your sinful nature and gives you the opportunity to follow the direction of where your newborn spirit, heart, and the Holy Spirit are taking you in life. When you are born again, God no longer judges you on sins you accumulated before you crossed over to become a born-again Christian. Instead, your life's journey has led you to self-actualization of where you need to be going in life. You have realized that you now have a clean slate and a new heart, and hopefully you have gained a newfound meaning and purpose in your new life. Your obedience to the will of God and Jesus will lure your heart to the miraculous healing power of the Holy Spirit. Your relentless repentance, faith, and complete trust in the Lord will cleanse your spirit. This all happens with the practice of being righteous and being obedient to God. Although the Holy Spirit dwells within our temples, its holiness loses its strength inside our bodies as we live out our lives due to our sinful nature as humans.
