What is the relationship between worship and being born again?

In order to worship God correctly, one must be born again, as Jesus explains in John 3 and John 4. True worship arises from a heart that has been regenerated and transformed by the Holy Spirit. The necessity of being born again indicates that worship stems not from external rituals or practices, but from an internal change that enables believers to connect genuinely with God. This regeneration is vital for understanding and responding to God’s revelation through Christ, enabling believers to worship Him in spirit and truth as intended.
