KJV Word TypeNoun phrase
DefinitionThe supernatural work of God by which a spiritually dead sinner is brought to new spiritual life. Jesus told Nicodemus that a person must be born again of water and the Spirit to see the Kingdom of God. The new birth is not reformation but a creative act of God — a new creation.
Key Verses"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5); "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
