How can a person be spiritually reborn according to John 3?

Answered in 1 source

John 3 teaches that spiritual rebirth occurs through the Holy Spirit and is essential for entering the Kingdom of God.

In John 3, Jesus explains to Nicodemus that spiritual rebirth, or being 'born again,' is necessary for entering the Kingdom of God. This rebirth is not from human initiative but is a divine work accomplished by the Holy Spirit. The preacher elaborates that just as natural life begins at conception, spiritual life is initiated by the incorruptible seed of God's Word (1 Peter 1:23). When God chooses to awaken someone to spiritual life, they begin to perceive their need for Christ and the truth of the Gospel, though they may initially struggle to fully articulate their faith. The process of regeneration is transformative, leading the individual to a point where they recognize their sinfulness, call upon the name of the Lord, and ultimately, through faith, receive the gift of salvation.
