Why is the new birth necessary for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The new birth is necessary for salvation because it changes our nature, enabling us to have faith and understand spiritual truths.

The new birth is essential as it signifies the work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating those who are dead in their sins. As stated in Ephesians 2:1, we are spiritually dead until God intervenes. This regeneration is a sovereign act of grace that enables individuals to respond in faith and embrace the Gospel (Romans 10:9-10). Without this new birth, one cannot comprehend or accept the things of God, which is foundational to the Christian faith and experience.
