Regeneration

God is the Author of Regeneration.
John 1:12 informs us that we must be "born of God." The word "of" points to the source and origin of the new life - God is the origin and source of regeneration.
John 1:13 eliminates all human aspects of regeneration. The phrase "not of blood" shows that regeneration cannot be inherited. The phrase "not of the will of the flesh" shows that God's life is not the fruit of a man's search for God. "Not of the will of man" - man cannot generate eternal life.

The Word is the means of Regeneration.
1 Pet. 1:23 makes it clear that the written word of God is the means of the new birth, because the written word is actually the living Word (see also Heb. 4:12; John 6:63; Acts 7:38)
In practice, this means knowledge must precede the new birth. The miracle of the new birth cannot occur where the Word of God is not taught in some form.

Regeneration is the Resurrection is the Power.
We are "born again...by the resurrection of Jesus Christ", 1 Pet. 1:3. This shows us the kind of power needed for regeneration. According to Eph. 1:19,20 the power that raised Christ from the dead is the greatest power ever displayed. This same power is applied in bringing regeneration to us.

Faith is the Instrument of Regeneration.
Gal. 3:26 explains that faith is the hand by which we receive the gift of eternal life.

Blood is the Basis of Regeneration.
Those who call on the Father, 1 Pet. 1:1719, the family concept of regeneration. It is the blood of Christ that makes this possible (v. 19).

The Holy Spirit is the Agent of Regeneration.
John 3:5,6, the necessity of birth through the agency of the Holy Spirit. "Flesh" begets "flesh", "spirit" begets "spirit". Divine life requires divine parents.

John 1:12 "...to them gave He power to become the children of God"
