A. W. Pink's sermon on "The New Birth" centers on the doctrine of regeneration, emphasizing its essential role in salvation. Pink articulates that two key components are crucial: deliverance from the guilt and penalty of sin (secured by Christ’s mediatorial work) and deliverance from the power and presence of sin (accomplished through the Holy Spirit’s work). He elaborates on the transformative process of regeneration, sanctification, and glorification, citing Scripture such as Titus 3:5 and Romans 8:30 to highlight the necessity of a radical spiritual change for anyone desiring communion with God. The practical significance of this doctrine underscores that without regeneration, a person cannot truly appreciate or engage with spiritual realities; it serves as both a diagnostic tool for self-examination and a call to embrace the life of faith.
“The one takes place when, having been brought to lie in the dust as an empty-handed beggar, faith is enabled to lay hold of Christ.”
“Regeneration is indispensably necessary before any soul can enter heaven.”
“A regenerated person is a new creature in Christ Jesus.”
“Let each one of us test and search himself in the presence of God by these questions.”
The Bible teaches that regeneration is essential for salvation, restoring believers to spiritual life through the Holy Spirit.
Titus 3:5, John 3:3, Romans 8:10
Regeneration is affirmed in Scripture and evidenced by a transformation in a believer's life and attitudes toward sin and God.
John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:22-23
The new birth is vital for Christians because it enables them to enter into a relationship with God and empowers them to live a holy life.
Romans 8:10, Ephesians 2:1-5, 1 Peter 1:3
During regeneration, a believer is given a new spiritual life, enabling a profound change in desires and attitudes towards sin and holiness.
Ephesians 2:1-5, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:22-23
