Regeneration Part 2

God’s intention for the Israelites was that they should be a regenerate people, inwardly righteous, circumcised of heart, the law written on their hearts. But apart from the sovereign, regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, this was an impossibility. This is why the “new heart” promise of Ezekiel 36 is followed by the miraculous resurrection of God’s people – the true Israel – by the Holy Spirit in Ezekiel 37.
