O Novo Nascimento

The song 'O Novo Nascimento,' performed by Cantor Cristão, is a hymn that speaks to the Christian concept of spiritual rebirth or being 'born again.' The lyrics recount the biblical story of Nicodemus, a Pharisee who came to Jesus by night seeking wisdom. Jesus tells him that in order to see the kingdom of God, one must be born again. This conversation is found in the Gospel of John, chapter 3, and is a cornerstone for many Christian denominations that emphasize the need for a personal transformation through faith in Jesus Christ.

The refrain 'Importa renascer!' which translates to 'It is necessary to be born again!' serves as a powerful and repetitive call to action, emphasizing the importance of this spiritual rebirth. The song encourages listeners to heed the words of Jesus and to understand that entry into the 'holy rest of God' and eternal life with Him requires a transformation that is likened to a new birth. This transformation involves confessing one's sins and embracing faith in Christ.

The hymn is not just a narrative but also an invitation. It calls on 'children of the world' to listen to the tender love of the Lord and to accept the message of rebirth. It is a message of hope and redemption, suggesting that to reunite with loved ones in heaven, one must undergo this profound spiritual change. The song, therefore, serves as a reminder of the Christian belief in salvation and the steps one must take to achieve it according to the teachings of Jesus.
