How does one experience the new birth according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
The new birth is experienced through the work of the Holy Spirit and the preaching of the gospel (Romans 1:16, John 1:13).
Experiencing the new birth is fundamentally a work of the Holy Spirit, instigated by the hearing of the gospel. Romans 1:16 states that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, emphasizing that through its proclamation, individuals can come to faith and be spiritually reborn. Further, John 1:13 asserts that those who are born again do so not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, but of God. This highlights that regeneration is solely the divine act of God that brings one from death to life. Hence, it is through the gospel and the enlightening work of the Holy Spirit that one experiences the new birth.
