Following the heading, “Never Separate the New Birth and Faith in
Jesus,” John Piper goes on to say:
The life given in the new birth is the life of faith. The two are never separate. . . . Therefore, when answering the question What happens in the new birth? never separate these two sayings of Jesus in John 3: “Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (v. 3), and, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life” (v. 36). What happens in the new birth is the creation of life in union with Christ. And part of how God does that is by the creation of faith, which is how we experience our union with Christ” (John Piper, Finally Alive, 33)
