How do we know that believers must be born again?

Answered in 1 source

John 3:3 states, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,' indicating the necessity of spiritual rebirth for all believers.

The concept of being 'born again' is foundational in the Christian faith, particularly emphasized by Jesus in John 3:3. He teaches Nicodemus that to enter the Kingdom of God, one must experience a spiritual rebirth, which is accomplished by the Holy Spirit. This transformation is essential because without it, individuals remain in their sinful nature, alienated from God's life and rule. Our old nature is incapable of achieving righteousness before God. Therefore, being born again signifies a crucial shift where the believer receives a new heart and a new mind, thereby enabling them to understand and live in accordance with God's will. This new birth is not merely a change in behavior but a radical and divine work of grace.
