The phrase, "Born Again”, is perceived by most of Christianity, to be a symbolic representation, and absolute assurance, of Salvation, through faith in Jesus. But, the original Greek word, “Gennao”, is incorrectly translated, as, "Born”. Gennao, depicts active development, with a beginning, or origin, similar to the conception, of a human embryo. Conception begins the process, that will continue maturing, to the moment before birth. Gennao, is similar to the English word, generate. Portraying the natural process, of a germinating seed, that grows in stages. Until it becomes, a mature plant, that is capable of producing, seed bearing fruit. Messiah Yeshua, is called, the “Seed of Abraham”. And his sacrificial death, becomes the planting of a seed, that is resurrected, to spiritually regenerate new life, within His Faithful followers. The theme of planting, and harvesting, is a powerful metaphor, of Salvation. "what a man sews, he will reap”.
