How does the new birth happen according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The new birth occurs through the sovereign action of God, not through human effort (John 1:12-13).

In John 1:12-13, it's stated that those who receive Christ are given the right to become children of God, 'which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.' This illustrates that the new birth is a divine act of regeneration granted by God alone. By this transformative act, individuals are made spiritually alive and capable of grasping the truths of God, further emphasizing the necessity of relying on God's grace for transformation rather than any human ability.
