What is the role of faith in the new birth?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the evidence of being born again, not the cause of it.

In the context of the new birth, faith is not a prerequisite but a product of being born again. 1 John 5:1 clarifies that he who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Salvation and the new birth are the works of God’s grace, after which faith becomes evident in the believer's life as they exercise trust in Christ. This understanding shifts the focus from human effort to divine intervention as the sole source of salvation.
