How does one experience the new birth?

Experiencing the new birth is a sovereign act of God facilitated by the Holy Spirit (John 3:3). It involves being regenerated and given spiritual life, enabling us to understand and accept the Gospel. This new birth is not initiated by our efforts but is purely a work of grace. When God imparts new life to a believer, they are equipped with faith that holds onto Christ, repenting of their sins and desiring to follow Him. The evidence of this transformation is seen in the person's life, leading to a desire to align with God's will and commandments.
