How do we know our new birth is God's work?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that the new birth is solely God's work, not contingent upon our own will or lineage, but through His sovereign grace.

The new birth, as articulated in John 1:12-13, is clear that it is an act of God's will: 'Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of man, but of God.' This underscores that our spiritual rebirth is entirely a result of God's initiative and power. Our physical birth is not something we contribute to, resembling how our spiritual birth emerges—through God's sovereign action in our lives. It highlights that salvation and regeneration are rooted in God's omnipotence and grace, which humbles us and leads us to seek Him for mercy.
