What does it mean to be born again in a spiritual sense?

Answered in 2 sources

Being born again means being spiritually regenerated by the Holy Spirit, granting us new life in Christ.

To be born again, as discussed in the context of John 3:3, refers to a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit where an individual is regenerated, enabling them to respond to God’s call. This spiritual rebirth is not a result of human will or effort, but is entirely the work of God (John 1:13). It signifies a transformation from being dead in sin to being alive in Christ. This new birth is essential for inheriting the kingdom of God, as flesh and blood cannot inherit the divine realm. Therefore, the necessity of being born again highlights the sovereignty of God in salvation and the radical change that occurs in a believer's life.
