Being born again is a work of the Holy Spirit, where one receives new life and faith to believe in Christ.
According to Scripture, being born again is a profound transformation that occurs when the Holy Spirit regenerates a person, granting them new life and the ability to believe in Jesus Christ. John 3:3 states, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This new birth is not initiated by human effort or belief but by the Spirit of God, as illustrated in John 3:8, which says, 'The wind bloweth where it listeth; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.' Therefore, true faith and repentance spring from this sovereign work of God in the heart of the believer.
