New birth scripture
Here are some scriptures related to new birth:
- John 3:3-7 - "Jesus answered, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.' 'How can someone be born when they are old?' Nicodemus asked. 'Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!' Jesus replied, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.'"
- Titus 3:5 - "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior."
- 1 Peter 1:23 - "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God."
- 1 John 2:29 - "If you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him."
- Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
- Colossians 3:10 - "And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
- Galatians 6:15 - "Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation."
These scriptures emphasize the idea that salvation is not just a change of behavior, but a transformation of the heart and soul, resulting in a new birth or regeneration.
