Why is the concept of being born again essential for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Being born again is essential for Christians because it signifies a transformative work of God necessary for salvation.

The concept of being born again is foundational in Christian faith, as emphasized in the interaction between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3. Jesus states that without being born again, one cannot see the kingdom of God. This spiritual rebirth, brought about by the Holy Spirit, is not a work that can be accomplished by human effort; it is a divine act of grace. It makes one a new creation in Christ, enabling them to have a genuine faith and relationship with God. This transformation is crucial for all who wish to enter into eternal life with Him, as it signifies the presence of Christ within, which is described as 'Christ in you, the hope of glory.'
