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

Answered in 6 sources

The necessity of the new birth is affirmed by Jesus Himself in John 3:3, where He states that unless one is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God.

The truth of the necessity of the new birth is established in John 3:3, where Jesus clearly states, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This passage illustrates the spiritual condition of humanity; natural birth alone does not equip a person for the kingdom of God. The emphasis on 'must' in this context shows that God’s design of salvation includes this divine transformation. Furthermore, it aligns with other biblical teachings regarding human depravity and the need for regeneration through the Holy Spirit, as mentioned in Titus 3:5, affirming that salvation is not through works, but through His mercy.
