How do we know regeneration is necessary for the fruit of the Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration is essential as it is the Holy Spirit who cultivates the fruit of the Spirit in believers' lives.

The necessity of regeneration arises from the biblical doctrine that without a new birth, we cannot please God or exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. As indicated in John 3:3, being born again is essential for entering the kingdom of God. The work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration enables believers to live in accordance with God's will, which naturally produces such fruit. Hence, the presence of the fruit serves as evidence of God's transformative work within us through grace.
