Regeneration is evidenced by the transformative work of the Spirit in the lives of believers, making them new creations in Christ.
Regeneration is the act of God whereby He imparts new life to believers, and it is a fundamental doctrine in Reformed theology. This is portrayed in Jacob’s blessing of Ephraim over Manasseh, symbolizing the spiritual birth. As mentioned in 2 Corinthians 5:17, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.' The experience of true faith, the fruits of the Spirit, and a new understanding of God’s word are manifestations of this transformative work, affirming that regeneration is not just a theological concept but a reality for all who believe.
