TO be born again is to born from", above,"to start life over, to have a different beginning. Natural birth makes one a member of the human family. Spiritual birth makes one a member of Gods family. The spirit works in us and we see outward charges.
For example, a person who has stolen doesn't steal anymore. a drunker doesn't drink anymore, a fornicator doesn't fornicat anymore. It is just like when the wind blows. we can't see the wind, but we can see what it does.
A person whose spirit has not been born of God is spiritually "dead"(Ephesians 2:15)cleansing of sin comes first by the death of Christ Jesus and the death of our old way of life. Then the spirit makes us alive with new life
Christ resurrection life. Both are necessary to enter into God's kingdom. New birth takes place when the Holy Spirit (the spirit of Jesus himself) actually enters and life in our bodies.
You are struggling against sin, but you have not had to give up your life the cause.you're children of God and he speaks of words of comfort to you.you have forgotten these words :
my child, don't think the Lord's discipline is worth nothing and don't stop trying when he corrects. Gods correction always leads to life.
GOD BLESS.AMEN.
