Regeneration

Summary

The sermon focuses on the doctrine of regeneration, emphasizing that being born again is a sovereign, immediate work of God on the heart, not caused by miracles or human effort. It contrasts superficial belief based on miracles with true spiritual rebirth, highlighting that regeneration precedes faith and understanding of the kingdom of God. The preacher critiques common misunderstandings about grace and responsibility, stressing that salvation is entirely by God's grace and not through human means. Biblical examples from Elijah, Nicodemus, and various scriptures illustrate that regeneration is an invisible, sovereign act of the Holy Spirit that cannot be resisted or corrupted.
