What does the Bible mean by monergistic regeneration?

Answered in 1 source

Monergistic regeneration means that the work of being born again is solely performed by God, without human contribution.

Monergistic regeneration is a theological term that means that the new birth is the work of one agent—God alone. This is contrary to synergistic beliefs, which suggest cooperation between God and man in salvation. John 1:13 makes it clear that being born again is not a result of human will or effort but is solely by the will of God. This understanding underscores the total dependency of believers on God's grace, emphasizing that no one can initiate their salvation; it is entirely a divine work.
