What does it mean to be born again in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Being born again refers to the spiritual transformation by God's grace that enables a person to believe and receive Christ.

To be born again, as Jesus teaches in John 3, signifies a radical spiritual rebirth that is essential for all who wish to enter the Kingdom of God. This rebirth is not a result of human effort or descent but is a supernatural act of God as He regenerates the heart. Through the preaching of the gospel, God sovereignly imparts spiritual life to the dead soul, enabling faith in Christ and the reception of His righteousness. This transformation demonstrates God's power and grace, as believers recognize they cannot save themselves and must rely wholly on Christ.
