What does the Bible say about being born of the Spirit?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that being born of the Spirit is a necessary work of the Holy Spirit that brings about spiritual transformation in every believer.
In John 3:8, Jesus explains to Nicodemus that 'the wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.' This metaphor highlights the mysterious yet undeniable work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating the hearts and lives of those who believe. Being born again is a spiritual rebirth that results in a new perspective, new desires, and the life of God within us.
