How do we know the new birth is a supernatural event?

Answered in 1 source

The new birth is described in Scripture as a supernatural act of God, differentiating it from natural birth.

The new birth, or regeneration, is presented in the Bible as a divine act carried out by God alone. It is not achieved by human effort or natural generation, but rather as a work of the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:23). This supernatural transformation creates a new being born of incorruptible seed—the Word of God—ensuring that this spiritual life is eternal and not subject to decay. Unlike our physical birth, which results in a sinful nature inherited from Adam, the new birth equips believers with a sinless nature, initiating their journey of faith and sanctification. It is essential for believers to recognize the significance of this transformation and its implications on their spiritual walk.
