Why is being born again necessary for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Being born again is essential for Christians as it signifies spiritual regeneration and the only way to enter God's kingdom.

Being born again is a necessary transformation that believers must undergo to receive eternal life and see the kingdom of God. As described in John 3:5, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' This indicates that a heavenly birth, a transformation wrought by the Holy Spirit, is required to grasp the divine nature and holiness. Additionally, in Ezekiel 36:26-27, God promises to give a new heart and a new spirit, highlighting that this transformation is rooted in divine initiative rather than human effort. For Christians, this rebirth opens their eyes to the truthfulness of the gospel and lays the foundation for a life of faith and obedience.
