We were reminded that regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit giving birth to new life in the hearts of all believers. The act of regeneration is solely done by God and we cannot evoke this process through our own actions.
This sovereign act allows our sins to be cleansed by the Holy Spirit that comes to dwell within everyone who believes. This is the seal and the assurance that we are among Gods children allowing us to be confident in our salvation.
However, we were encouraged that, the Holy Spirit delights in bringing new life to those who believe. Therefore, we can be confident in praying for the Holy Spirit to be poured out afresh on us, to help us be empowered and more fruitful for God in the year ahead.
