Does the Holy Spirit regenerate God's elect?

The work of the Holy Spirit is essential in the process of regeneration. Psalm 110:3 states that God's people shall be willing in the day of His power, indicating that the Spirit instills a willingness to believe in the hearts of the elect. This regeneration transforms a dead sinner, enabling them to respond to the gospel with faith, just as illustrated by the example of the thief on the cross who recognized Christ and was granted salvation. The Spirit's work in regeneration affirms God's sovereignty over salvation.
