How do we know the new birth is necessary for salvation?

Answered in 4 sources

The new birth is necessary for salvation as it brings about a spiritual transformation that aligns the believer's heart with God's will.

The necessity of the new birth is underscored in Scripture, particularly in John 3:3, where Jesus states that one must be born again to see the kingdom of God. This new birth signifies a spiritual rebirth that leads to a new nature capable of believing and repenting of sin. Without this transformation, individuals remain in their original sinful state, which is described as being totally depraved and unable to please God. Thus, the experience of having a new nature is evidence of one's salvation and acceptance of God's grace.
