Regeneration:
only found in Mat 19:28 and Tts 3:5. This word literally means a "new birth." The Greek word so rendered (palingenesia) is used by classical writers with reference to the changes produced by the return of spring. In Mat 19:28 the word is equivalent to the "restitution of all things" (Act 3:21). In Tts 3:5 it denotes that change of heart elsewhere spoken of as a passing from death to life (1Jo 3:14); becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus (2Cr 5:17); being born again (Jhn 3:5); a renewal of the mind (Rom 12:2); a resurrection from the dead (Eph 2:6); a being quickened (2:1,5).
This change is ascribed to the Holy Spirit. It originates not with man but with God (Jhn 1:12,13; 1Jo 2:29; 5:1,4).
As to the nature of the change, it consists in the implanting of a new principle or disposition in the soul; the impartation of spiritual life to those who are by nature "dead in trespasses and sins."
The necessity of such a change is emphatically affirmed in Scripture (Jhn 3:3; Rom 7:18; 8:7-9; 1Cr 2:14; Eph 2:1; 4:21-24).
