What does it mean to be born again by the word of truth?

Answered in 1 source

Being born again by the word of truth means being regenerated by the gospel, which brings spiritual life.

In James 1:18, it states, 'Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.' This passage indicates that regeneration is initiated by God's will through the gospel, also known as the word of truth. The Holy Spirit uses this word to bring about new spiritual life in believers, transforming them into new creations in Christ. Therefore, to be born again is a divine act where the word of God actively works to change our hearts, leading us to salvation and a new way of living.
