What does it mean to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 3 sources

Regeneration by the Holy Spirit means being born again, resulting in a new nature that enables faith and righteous living.

Regeneration is the act of the Holy Spirit bringing a dead sinner to new life in Christ. It is a supernatural transformation whereby God imparts new spiritual life, enabling the individual to respond in faith to the gospel. This change is not merely moral improvement but a profound metamorphosis that aligns the believer's will with God's. According to Ephesians 2:1, we were dead in our sins, but through regeneration, we become new creatures, marked by an inherent desire to pursue righteousness and love as reflective of Christ. This rebirth is foundational to our understanding of salvation and fellowship with God.
