What does regeneration mean in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration refers to the spiritual rebirth of a person, enabling them to have faith and new life in Christ.

In Christian theology, regeneration is the act of God by which a sinner is made a new creature in Christ. It is an essential aspect of salvation that enables one to have faith and understand spiritual truths. According to 1 Peter 1:3, believers are 'begotten again unto a lively hope,' indicating that this new birth is central to Christian identity. Regeneration is accomplished by the Holy Spirit, who works through the gospel to awaken faith in those chosen by God. As described in Ephesians 2:1-5, believers were once dead in their sins but are now made alive together with Christ—a transformation that demonstrates God's mercy and grace.
