How do we know that regeneration is necessary for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration is necessary for believers as it is the work of the Holy Spirit that gives them spiritual life and enables them to receive God's Word.

The necessity of regeneration is provided in John 3:3, where Jesus states that one must be born again to see the Kingdom of God. This regeneration, as explained in 1 Peter 1:23, comes through the Word of God, which is described as living and abiding forever. It indicates that without this spiritual birth, individuals cannot comprehend or accept spiritual truths. This is crucial in understanding that true belief and acceptance of Scripture stem from the Holy Spirit's work within us, as mere intellectual acknowledgment of God’s Word is insufficient for salvation and growth in the Christian faith.
