Jesus pictured that change (i.e. that regeneration) as being born-again, born from above. Regeneration is the work of God in which He renovates the human heart ~ the very core of our being ~ and implants a new principle of desire, purpose, and action; a new disposition that responds positively to the Gospel and the things of God. The concept was described in the Old Testament in Ezekiel 36, where God is pictured as cleansing from the pollution of sin and bestowing a new heart by putting His Spirit within them. Jesus’ point to Nicodemus was as follows; there is no exercise of faith in Christ, no repentance, and no true discipleship apart from the new birth, which was likened to a wind that blows where it wishes and makes its sound evident to all. The usual context of regeneration is effectual calling, the confrontation with our Lord’s Gospel and the illumination to its truth and significance as the message from God to you. Regeneration is entirely the work of the Holy Spirit, Who raises the elect from among the spiritually dead to new life in Christ; it is the transition from spiritual death to spiritual life. The immediate fruit of regeneration is a conscious, intentional, active faith in Christ, while the long-term fruit is a life lived in obedience to God. As the mind is no longer hostile to God, but is spiritually alive and at peace with God, there is now the desire and Spirit-filled ability to accomplish the things of God. AS YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER YOUR RESPONSE: Ephesians 2:4, 5 ~ “But because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions...” (NIV) HOMEWORK: Read the central passages daily.
