How do we know the necessity of the new birth is true?

Answered in 5 sources

The necessity of the new birth is affirmed by Jesus in John 3:3, emphasizing its critical importance for salvation.

Jesus makes it clear in His conversation with Nicodemus that the new birth is not optional but mandatory for seeing and entering the kingdom of God. He states, 'unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God' (John 3:3). This assertion is profound; it expresses that without this spiritual rebirth, one's ability to grasp the truths of God's kingdom and partake in its promises is nonexistent. The new birth is, therefore, an integral part of God's redemptive plan, illuminating that no amount of religious observance or moral behavior can substitute for this essential experience.
