Why do Christians believe in the necessity of being born again?

Answered in 1 source

Christians believe in the necessity of being born again because it is essential for entering the Kingdom of God.

The doctrine of being born again, as stated in John 3:7, underlines the transformative nature of salvation. When Jesus told Nicodemus, 'Ye must be born again,' He emphasized that a spiritual rebirth is required to see and enter the Kingdom of God. This concept highlights the complete regeneration of a sinner's heart by the Holy Spirit, illustrating that natural birth alone is insufficient for salvation. The Reformed understanding clarifies that this new birth is also a sovereign act of God, reaffirming His grace. This necessity reinforces the Christian belief that all must experience this divine transformation to align with God's will.
