What role does faith play in being born again?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is integral to being born again, as those who believe in Christ are granted the power to become children of God (John 1:12).

In the process of regeneration, faith plays a pivotal role. According to John 1:12, 'As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.' This indicates that faith in Jesus Christ is not only a response to the Word of God but also the means through which God imparts the new birth. It is essential for individuals to place their trust in Christ to experience this transformative act of God, marking their entry into the family of God and their new identity as believers. Thus, while regeneration is initiated by God, it is received through faith by those who believe.
