What does it mean to be unregenerate according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
To be unregenerate means to be spiritually dead in sins, unable to seek God or believe the gospel without divine intervention.
In the context of the sermon, to be unregenerate refers to the state of being spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, as described in Ephesians 2:1. The unregenerate person lacks the ability to respond positively to the gospel due to their deadness in sin and hostility towards God. This state signifies a heart that is hardened and unable to love the truth. Without the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit, such individuals remain in darkness and are opposed to the message of the gospel, which they find embarrassing or a source of offense because it centers solely on Christ's work and not on their own merit.
