How do we know the necessity of the new birth is true?
Answered in 2 sources
The necessity of the new birth is affirmed by Christ's words, emphasizing its imperative nature (John 3:3).
Christ's declaration in John 3:3, that 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,' is a foundational tenet of Christian faith. This teaching reveals the spiritual state of humanity, which is dead in sin and incapable of achieving spiritual understanding or enlightenment apart from divine intervention. The new birth, or regeneration, is solely a work of the Holy Spirit that brings life and faith through God's power, affirming the necessity of this rebirth for anyone to be saved and enter God's kingdom.
