Regeneration (10)



Regeneration is that act of God by which the principle of the new life is implanted in man, and the governing disposition of the soul is made holy
Systematic Theology, 469
Regeneration is birth; sanctification is growth. In regeneration, God implants desires that were not there before: desire for God, for holiness, and for the hallowing and glorifying of God's name in this world;
Concise Theology
God's regenerating power is greater than the strength of the world, hell, or man's wicked heart; he can draw the worst sinners to Christ.
The Zealous Christian
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.

The concept is of God renovating the heart, the core of a person's being, by implanting a new principle of desire, purpose, and action, a dispositional dynamic that finds expression in positive response to the gospel and it's Christ.
Concise Theology, Ch 58
there is no exercise of faith in himself as the supernatural Savior, no repentance, and no true discipleship apart from this new birth.
Concise Theology, Ch 58


In a multitude of cases, and in all cases where regeneration is spoken of, it means the whole soul; that is, it includes the intellect, will, and the conscience as well as the affections. Hence the Bible speaks of the eyes, of the thoughts, of the purposes, of the devices, as well as of the feelings or affections of the heart. In Scriptural language, therefore, a 'new heart' does not mean simply a new state of feeling, but a radical change in the state of the whole soul or interior man.
There is no way of deliverance from the state and condition of being in the flesh, but by the Spirit of Christ.
He can make the dry parched ground of my soul to become a pool and my thirsty barren heart as springs of water. Yes he can make this habitation of dragons this heart which is so full of abominable lusts and fiery temptations to be a place of bounty and fruitfulness unto Himself
