How does regeneration relate to the human will?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration is essential because it changes the human will, enabling individuals to choose God, as they must be born again to enter the kingdom of God.

Regeneration signifies a spiritual rebirth that is necessary for salvation, as outlined in John 3:3, where Jesus states, 'Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' Before regeneration, the human will is in bondage to sin and inherently opposed to God (Romans 8:7). After experiencing regeneration through the Holy Spirit, believers receive a new nature that desires to seek and obey God. This transformative act of God enables individuals to embrace Christ as Lord and Savior, fundamentally altering their capacity to choose. Therefore, regeneration is not merely an addition to human will but a complete renewal of the heart, aligning it with God’s desires.
