How do we know that we are born again?

Answered in 6 sources

We know we are born again because God has begotten us to a new life through His Spirit, granting us a new identity in Christ.

Being born again is a transformative experience described in 1 Peter 1:3, where believers are 'begotten again unto a lively hope.' This new birth signifies that we are given a brand new life that cannot be corrupted, contrasted with our previous sinful existence. The Apostle John emphasizes this in 1 John 3:9, highlighting that those born of God do not commit sin in the sense of a permanent state, as they are now rooted in Christ's perfect life. The evidence of being born again is rooted in one’s reliance on Christ and the change seen in one's life.
