Popular Nollywood actress and mother of one, Tonto Dikeh says she has given her life to Christ and is now a born-again Christian. The beautiful actress who recently underwent a cosmetic surgery to regain her body after childbirth said she had left all the bad things she did in her past and was now reconciled with God.


Tonto who took to her Instagram page to share the good news with her followers on Thursday described herself as a new creature in Christ and a born-again.


Her post read;


“The term “born again” isn’t a religious cliché, which connotes turning over a new leaf. When you ask some Christians how they know they’re born again, some would reply: I know I’m born again, because the bad things I used to do, I do them no more. I’ve changed my ways, and now, I behave differently.

 

“Being born again is much more than that. What you receive when you’re born again is an entirely new life. There’s no such thing as “The bad things I used to do, I do them no more,” because the person who did those things is dead. He doesn’t exist anymore.


“When you received Christ into your life, something actually happened: your spirit was recreated. You were born of the Word of God and of the Spirit of God. You now have the life, nature and character of God. And when a man has the life, nature and character of God, he can only live like God. So, being born again is actually receiving the God-nature; becoming an associate of the God-kind.


“Romans 6:6 says, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Your old life or nature isn’t suspended; it’s dead; you’ve come up a new man; a new species of being; one that never existed before; one without a past. In the presence of God, everything you were before you were born again, and everything you did before you were born again has no record. This isn’t a promise. This is a statement of fact in the Word.


“If you’re ignorant of this, you could be struggling with your past or with the sins you committed before you were born again. This, invariably, could make you ineffective in the things of God. No; you’re not a sinner. You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, because you’re born again (2 Corinthians 5:21). Walk in the consciousness of your righteousness, and new life in Christ: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father.”


Tonto's love for her newly discovered belief began after her bitter divorce. She had accused Churchill, her ex-husband of assault, infidelity and other sharp practices.
