God—in Other Words

Strange question, perhaps. After all, surely we know what the gospel is. We are Christians, God’s people, and we have the Truth. It’s as though we have a divine warrant for our product:

God has never had a good press. The hostile, the doubtful, the misguided—few have anything good to say about this divine person:
“We must be greater than God, for we have to undo his injustice.” –Jules Renard.
“I’ve steered clear of God. He was an incredible sadist.” –John Collier.
“God is but a word invented to explain the world.” –Lamartine.

The question on a website hit me as I read it. “Why be born again, when you can just grow up?” No doubt someone from a non-Christian perspective, being from their perspective perhaps wittily perceptive.
But the question deserves more than just a dismissive response. For, it has to be admitted, the usual state of affairs in this world is indeed to grow up after you are born.
So why be born again instead of just growing up? What’s wrong with just growing up?
