Intro
Text - Titus 3:5
What It Means
ἀναγεννάω (anagennaō).
vb. to beget again.
This word denotes begetting again or giving birth to again.
ἀποκυέω (apokyeō).
vb. to give birth to, bring into being.
This verb refers to giving birth to a child.
γεννάω (gennaō).
to beget; to give birth, bear.
This verb refers to becoming the parent of someone and is used both of fathers and of mothers.
In John 3, Jesus speaks with Nicodemus about being “born (gennaō) again (ἄνωθεν, anōthen).”
The word anōthen can mean either “from above” or “from the beginning, again,” so the whole phrase may mean either “born from above” or “born again.”
Regeneration is our birth into God’s family
Regeneration is a means of our salvation
Regeneration is God’s will for us
How It Happens
Regeneration is made possible by God’s (1) Word and (2) Holy Spirit
God’s Word
God’s Word and Spirit - Titus 3.5
LOUTRON - washing (of regeneration)
Ephesians 5.26 - washing of water by the Word
ANAKAINOSIS - renewing (of the Holy Spirit)
Regeneration is being born of water and the Spirit
Jesus’ exampleship - Matthew 3.13-16
Peter’s sermon - Acts 2.38
Water baptism does not save - 1 Peter 3.21
When It Happens
Regeneration takes place when one receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit
John 3.7-8
Acts 2.38 - you will received the gift of the Holy Spirit
What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the indwelling of the Spirit of God in the believer’s life.
When does the Holy Spirit come (to baptize and to dwell in)?
The baptism of the Holy Spirit comes after one has expressed repentance from sin and faith in the Saving work of Christ.
Conclusion
Regeneration or new birth is the general terminology that we use to describe the three primary works of God in our salvation.
Justified - by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ
Sanctified - by the Holy Spirit, applying the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus in the believer’s heart
Baptized with the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of God coming in to dwell in us, and give power for service
