How does regeneration relate to faith and justification?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration enables faith, which is how believers experience justification before God.

Regeneration, the work of the Holy Spirit, is the act of making a spiritually dead person alive, enabling them to respond in faith. This is foundational to understanding justification in Reformed theology. As articulated in John 3:8, the Spirit's work is essential for belief—the individual cannot have faith or repent without first being regenerated. Consequently, once regenerated, the individual is justified by faith, meaning they can fully embrace their status as declared righteous by God, thus affirming the essential link between regeneration and justification.
