How does the Holy Spirit give new life?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit sovereignly brings new life to spiritually dead individuals, granting them faith and repentance.

The work of the Holy Spirit is crucial in the process of salvation, as He alone can resurrect spiritually dead individuals. Psalm 110:3 states that people will be willing on the day of God's power, indicating that the Spirit must initiate and enable the willingness to believe. Philippians 2:13 emphasizes that it is God who works within us to will and to act in accordance with His good purpose. Thus, the giving of new life and the corresponding faith are not based on human effort but are a divine gift from the Holy Spirit, who acts powerfully and sovereignly.
