What does the concept of regeneration mean for faith?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration refers to the divine act of God that enables the elect to have saving faith.

Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit that transforms a person’s heart, enabling them to respond to the gospel in faith. As stated in John 3:3, one must be born again to see the kingdom of God. This act of being born again precedes faith, meaning that faith itself is a result of regeneration. The relationship is clear: God first grants the new life through the Holy Spirit, and out of that new life springs forth faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. Thus, regeneration is the necessary precursor to an individual's genuine faith, establishing that faith is a gift of grace through God’s initiative.
