What does the Bible say about the necessity of the new birth?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible emphasizes that one must be born again to enter the kingdom of God, as stated in John 3:7.

The necessity of the new birth is foundational to Christian doctrine, as presented in John 3:1-17. Jesus communicates to Nicodemus the imperative that 'ye must be born again' (John 3:7), indicating that the new birth is the path to spiritual life and entry into the kingdom of God. This new birth signifies an act of God, entirely independent of human action or decision, that transforms a person spiritually. It is a radical transformation characterized by the impartation of a new nature that cannot sin and is in direct contrast to our fallen, sinful nature.
