Ye Must Be Born Again (John 3:3-7)

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that the new birth, or being born again, is solely the work of the Holy Spirit and cannot be achieved by human effort, good works, education, or faith alone. It explains that regeneration involves both the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost, which happens instantaneously and completely. The preacher underscores that faith is a fruit of the Spirit, not a prerequisite for the new birth, and salvation is entirely by God's mercy and sovereign grace. Ultimately, the new birth is a divine act of mercy and compassion by God, not dependent on human actions.
