How does regeneration impact a believer's desire to work righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration transforms a believer's heart, leading to a genuine desire to fear God and pursue good works.

Regeneration is the act of the Holy Spirit by which individuals are made new creations in Christ. This change produces a profound impact on a believer's desires, as seen in the example of Cornelius, described in Acts 10:2 as one who feared God and was generous. The regeneration instills in believers a desire not just to know God but to obey Him and perform righteous acts. Believers, having been created anew, are said to be 'his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works' (Ephesians 2:10). Thus, the good works that emanate from a believer's life are the evidence of their transformed nature, displaying the grace of God at work within them.
