How do we know that conversion is necessary for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus asserts that without conversion, individuals cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, highlighting its crucial role in salvation.

The necessity of conversion is underscored in Matthew 18:3, where Jesus emphasizes that being converted is not merely desirable but essential for entering the kingdom of heaven. This transformation is regarded as a change of heart and nature, indicating that one's mindset must shift from self-reliance to complete trust in God. Scripture reinforces the idea that by nature, we are separated from God due to sin, necessitating this radical change through regeneration and continual coming to Christ in faith.
