How does regeneration relate to salvation in the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Regeneration is the act of being born again, essential for salvation and a work of the Holy Spirit.

Regeneration, as described in Titus 3:5, is a key element in the Reformed understanding of salvation. It is the act wherein the Holy Spirit creates spiritual life within the believer, making them new creatures in Christ. This process is entirely the work of God; we cannot regenerate ourselves. Paul explains that this new birth is crucial because it enables a person to respond to the gospel and receive God's grace. This transformation leads to justification, which is being declared righteous before God. Therefore, regeneration is a foundational part of the believer's identity, revealing the depth of God's mercy in action.
