The act of God whereby He gives life to the believer. The Baptist Faith and Message says it like this, "regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God's grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart, wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, t o which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ". Many today treat man as if he is simply sick with sin, but the Bible indicates man is "dead" in sin (Eph. 2:4-5).
