'New birth' refers to the spiritual rebirth that God grants to His chosen people, allowing them to see and enter His kingdom.
'New birth' is a theological concept that signifies the spiritual transformation wrought by the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. According to John 3 and illustrated in the sermon, this rebirth is not self-initiated but is a sovereign act of God, equipping individuals with the faith to believe in Christ. It reflects the necessity of divine intervention for anyone to embrace the gospel, emphasizing that without this new birth, one cannot comprehend spiritual truths or experience true relationship with God. This transformation is essential for salvation as it changes one's disposition from enmity with God to faith and trust in Him.
