“If we hold that we become regenerate because we have already believed, then we have to show why we need to be regenerated at all. The purpose and object of regeneration is to enable us to receive this new faculty, this ability to receive God’s truth. The doctrine of regeneration has a great deal to say about election and this doctrine of divine choice. Indeed, I go so far as to say that this doctrine should always be approached in terms of the doctrine of regeneration which teaches that I need a new nature before I can begin to understand these things.”
David Martyn Lloyd-Jones
