🧵On Saturday, @Soteriology101 asked me to list “the top three” places in Scripture where I claim “we find the teaching of nature-changing regeneration causing faith.” He also said, “if they actually mention the words ‘nature, regeneration or faith’ that would be great.”

I told him I hoped to be able to fulfill this request today, and that I trusted “top three” did not represent a limit. Plus, I decided to do more than just list them. Hence this thread.
Note: since (a) biblical language is much more flexible than the theological jargon…

…we adapt from it, and (b) “regeneration” is only used once to refer to the new birth in English translations that even have it, I will supply those texts that teach the concept regardless of how they word it.
I hope you all find this thread helpful. Thanks!
