Sin is the opposite of success.  Sin is failure to attain the glory of God.  All of mankind has fallen short, so God did something about it. 

Romans 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

God knows that the only way for us to attain the glory of God is to restore our relationship with God, but our rebellion, our rebellious attitude, has separated between us and our God. 

There is a debt that is owed to pay for our sin.  This is a debt that we cannot pay, so God paid it.  The Creator of all things, your Creator, loved you so much that He became a human being, Jesus Christ, and paid your debt.  The purpose was to restore the relationship so that you could fulfill your destiny, so that you could stop missing out.  God asks, "Why do you want to lose out?"

Being born again simply opens the door that you may be able to press toward the mark of your high calling.  God has a method.  He gives us everything we need to get it done, and then He does the work if we let Him.
