When a person is “born again,” the person is given a new life. That is, the person becomes spiritually alive. God makes the person’s spirit or inner person new again (see: Titus 3:5).

Scholars call this “regeneration.” A person is “born again” when that person believes in Jesus (see: 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 1:3, 23; 1 John 5:1).
