Regeneration is evidenced by the work of the Holy Spirit in believers' lives, transforming them and creating a thirst for God's righteousness.
Regeneration, as presented in Scripture, is a work of God that cannot be achieved by human effort. It is the Holy Spirit who takes the initiative in imparting spiritual life. John 3:3 confirms that unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Believers experience a transformation that leads to a desire for righteousness, as they are drawn towards Christ, revealing the reality of this regeneration. The ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit within believers, causing a continual thirst for Christ and spiritual nourishment, confirms the truth of regeneration in their lives.
