What role does human ability play in being born again?

Human ability plays no role in the process of being born again according to Jesus’ discourse with Nicodemus. He emphasized that 'except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This highlights the total inability of man to initiate or achieve new birth independently. The new birth is an act of God, emphasizing divine sovereignty and grace, where God, through the Holy Spirit, grants spiritual life to those who are dead in sin. This reveals that faith is a result of this new birth, rather than the cause, reiterating that regeneration is a work of God alone.
