How does regeneration connect to faith?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration precedes faith, as it is the Holy Spirit who makes us alive to believe in Christ.

In sovereign grace theology, regeneration is a foundational act where the Holy Spirit transforms a dead heart into one that can respond to God. This is crucial because it sets the stage for faith; as stated in Titus 3:5, we are saved by the washing of regeneration. Faith is not a work we initiate; rather, it is a gift from God that follows the inward renewal of the Spirit, affirming that salvation is entirely of the Lord.
Scripture References: Titus 3:5, John 3:3-8
