What does the Bible say about faith and regeneration?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that faith in Jesus Christ is intrinsically connected to regeneration, as seen in 1 John 5:1.

According to 1 John 5:1, 'Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.' This verse reveals the vital connection between faith and regeneration, emphasizing that true faith is not merely an acknowledgment of truth but a trust in Christ as the Savior. Regeneration, or being born of God, must precede genuine faith; without a spiritual rebirth, one cannot genuinely believe in Christ. Thus, faith is both a duty commanded by God and a gift bestowed upon the believer by His grace.
