Born Again

According to the Bible a true Christian will have two births:

The first one being born of the flesh, the next is born of the spirit.

Jesus Christ says that we must be born again in order to see the kingdom of God.
"John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 

When a man is convicted of his sins by the Holy Spirit, if he responded with repentance of broken heart and contrite spirit, God forgives him and gives him the spirit of man, in order to pursue his spiritual life.
"John 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
In the same fashion a person receives a body of flesh at the physical birth, a person receives a body of spirit (the spirit man) from God as he is born of the spirit, which is his second birth. Now this person can see the kingdom of God because of the spirit man.
