How do we know that regeneration is a work of God's grace?

Answered in 2 sources

Regeneration is God's sovereign act, as highlighted in Ezekiel 36:26-27, where He promises to give a new heart and spirit.

Sovereign grace theology emphasizes that man's regeneration is not a result of human effort but a work entirely initiated by God. Ezekiel 36:26-27 speaks to God's promise to replace hearts of stone with hearts of flesh, enabling His people to walk in obedience. This divine intervention marks a critical aspect of salvation; it’s a transformative work that brings belief where there was none. Only through God's grace can we call upon Him and desire to seek Him, as seen in the Emmaus account, where the disciples’ eyes were opened not by their seeking but by Christ's gracious revelation.
