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

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture explicitly states that only those born of the Spirit can see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).

The necessity of the new birth is firmly established in scripture, particularly in John 3:3, where Jesus affirms that 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This indicates that entering the kingdom is intrinsically linked to the work of the Spirit in the believer's life. Without this transformation, one remains in a state of spiritual death, unable to comprehend or experience the fullness of God’s kingdom and grace.
