Soteriology and anthropology go hand in hand. We need to view ourselves in the light of the gospel. Conclusion Regeneration must be seen in the context of the promise and fulfillment schema of the Bible. Our doctrine of regeneration must focus on the renewing and recreating activity of God in Jesus Christ. It is here that God has given us new birth and new creation.
Comprehensive regeneration does justice to the length and breadth of the biblical doctrine.
It enables us to escape a narrow individualism. In its truest biblical perspective subjective regeneration is my being caught up in the great purpose and plan of God in Jesus Christ. Even when I speak of the change in my heart, I must do so in the context of the objective regenerating activity of God in Christ. The chief mark of subjective regeneration is its focus on objective regeneration. Faith is the chief work of the regenerating Spirit.
