New birth is solely the work of God | John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that spiritual birth is entirely a sovereign work of God, just as physical birth is beyond our control, using Jesus' analogy of being born again. It dismisses any human contribution, including works, religion, and morality, as irrelevant to this divine act. The takeaway is to recognize that salvation is a monergistic work of God alone, not a cooperative effort.
