How do we see evidence of the new birth in believers?

Answered in 1 source

Evidence of the new birth in believers is shown through their changed lives and the fruits of the Spirit (1 John 3:14-18).

The evidence of a new birth in believers manifests through inward transformation and outward actions that align with the will of God. According to 1 John 3:14-18, those who are born of God love others, do righteousness, and do not continue in sin. Their lives should bear the fruits of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, and patience, which indicate that they are living in accordance with the Holy Spirit. Thus, while the new birth itself is a work of God, it produces visible results in the believer's life, confirming their transformation and relationship with Christ.
