The Bible teaches that we are born again by God's great mercy to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:3).
According to 1 Peter 1:3, being born again is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith. This new birth comes from God's great mercy, indicating that it is entirely His work and gift. It is not a result of our own effort or intelligence. This new birth leads us to a living hope, which is secure and eternal. Our hope is not based on uncertain promises, but on the resurrected Christ, who has triumphed over death and sin, providing assurance of our salvation and eternal inheritance.
