This morning I want to speak to you about regeneration from the vantage point of the New Birth. I want to describe for you what happens when a person is born again, or born from above, by the Spirit of God. 1st of all - When a person is born again God the Holy Spirit infuses a new principle of spiritual life into their heart, making them into a new creature.
