How do we know regeneration is by God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration is entirely a work of God's grace, as per John 1:12-13, which states that we are 'born not of blood, nor of the will of man, but of God.'

The biblical teaching on regeneration emphasizes that it is wholly the work of God's grace. In John 1:12-13, it is made clear that those who receive Christ and are given the power to become children of God are born not by human effort or parental lineage, but by God's divine initiative. This underscores that our new birth cannot stem from our own will or actions, but rather originates from God's sovereign choice and mercy. As Paul writes in Ephesians 2:8-9, we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God.
