John 3 and 1 John 5.
A man that is not born again cannot even see the kingdom of God.
And, the sign of a true believer is one that is born again. This implies being born again precedes faith.
1 John 5:1 1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.
(ESV)
So, in this verse, those who are born again believe, not the other way around.
John 3 indicates that seeing the kingdom of God requires being born again.
John 3:1-8 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Seeing the kingdom of God requires spiritual eyes, which have not been given to all, but those who belong to Jesus.
I would suggest reading John 10, as well.
The Father gives specific individuals to the Son. They hear his voice as a result.
John 10:26-27 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
(ESV)
Read the whole chapter for the support, though.
I have also provided many more Scriptures in the thread on limited atonement.
