Definition of Regeneration
The English word “regeneration” is the translation of palingenesia, from palin (again) and genesis
(birth). It means simply a new birth, a new beginning, a new order. Regeneration is that
supernatural and instantaneous change wrought by the Holy Spirit in the nature of the individual
who receives the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not an evolutionary change, but a revolutionary one.
This is an example of plagiarism–using other’s words without documenting. Use your own words.
Description of Regeneration
The most common image that is used for regeneration is that of being born, being born again, or
born from above. Though the word for regeneration occurs only twice in the Scriptures (Matthew
19:28 and Titus 3:5), the idea of being reborn or born of God is quite common, especially in
John’s writings. It speaks of more than a renovation. It refers to a re-creation. A person who
experiences regeneration is born of or begotten by God. The idea is not unique to the New
Testament. Jesus’ surprise at Nicodemus’ answer indicates he should not have been shocked by
the concept (John 3). Regeneration is not reformation. Reformation is on the human plane;
regeneration, on the divine, regeneration is a change from within . Regeneration is a radical
change. Just as our physical birth resulted in a new individual entering the earthly realm, our
spiritual birth results in a new person entering the heavenly realm (Ephesians 2:6). After
regeneration, we begin to see and hear and seek after divine things; we begin to live a life of faith
and holiness. Now Christ is formed in the hearts; now we are partakers of the divine nature,
having been made new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Definition of Justification
Justification is the declaring of a person to be just or righteous. It is a legal term signifying
acquittal, a fact that makes it unpalatable to many in our day. Justification is that act of God's
grace whereby He declares righteous the person who places faith in Jesus Christ as his Substitute
and Savour.
Description ofJustification
It is an objective work taking place outside of us. It has to do not with our spiritual condition, but
with our spiritual
relation. It is not our state, but our standing that is in view. Both the Hebrew
(tsadaq) and the Greek (dikaioo) have essentially the same meaning. In fact, the
the background of the New Testament use of the word is found in Hebrew. Justification is a
change of our standing before God. A person who is justified is declared to be in conformity with
the requirements of the Law. The righteousness of Jesus Christ is reckoned to his
account.justification is not a judicial act, for the law cannot justify the sinner; it can only condemn
him. But it is an act of grace based on the finished work of Christ. The person declared righteous
is thereby declared free from guilt and punishment. Justification is not the same as forgiveness or
pardon. A criminal may be pardoned by the governor, but he does not leave behind him in his cell
the guilt that rested upon him; he carries that guilt with him out into his freedom. He has been
forgiven but not exonerated since he was actually guilty of the crime for which he was
imprisoned. But in the case of one who is justified; he is exonerated, not because he does not
deserve punishment and not because he no longer carries the memory of his guilt, but "because
the law's demands have been satisfied. Another has took his place and suffered his execution. The
law has no claim upon him.
Definition of Adoption
Adoption is that act of grace whereby God places as sons those who receive Christ Jesus,
bestowing on them all the rights and privileges of sonship.
Description of Adoption
Adoption is a change of our rank and position. It has to do with our privileges as sons. When we
become children of God through receiving Jesus Christ ( John 1 : 12), God does not treat us as
servants, nor as children still under tutors and governors, but as those "'who have received "the
adoption of sons" (see Gal. 4: 1-5) .We are treated as heirs who can draw on the rights of our
inheritance. Man's part is to believe in Jesus Christ and to receive Him. But this· believing is with
the heart; that is, the whole being must respond. It means more than an intellectual assent to the
truths of the gospel.God's part in the work of adoption is sure. Our response to Him gives Him the
opportunity He desires. He sends the Spirit of adoption into the heart that has received Jesus
Christ: "But ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father" (Rom. 8: 15).
"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba,
Father" (Gal. 4: 6). The time of adoption is unique in that there are three phases: There is the past
phase of adoption,There is the present phase of ·adoption, There is the future phase of adoption.
Definition and description of Sanctification
Sanctification is that work of grace whereby the believer is separated from self '~nd inward
sinfulness and, by the infilling of the Holy Spirit, set apart unto holiness and service. It marks a
crisis subsequent to conversion when one is brought to see his need and appropriates God's
provision for it. Sanctification literally means "to make holy"; consequently the Holy Spirit is the
necessary Agent in sanctification, and Christ is the adequate provision: Christ Jesus "is made unto
us ... sanctification" (I Cor. 1: 30). There is no sanctification mo~ally in the Scriptural sense apart
from contact and union with Him. Sanctification results in an increasing victory over sin.
Thank you for a good effort. Please compare a couple sources on a topic, and then write your
own summarization. It is okay – and good – to quote a sentence or two to express a good idea,
but make sure you use quotation marks and then put an in-text reference (author, page). You
should have 3 or more of these in the accumulated project, and then make a reference list
(bibliography style) at the end to show identifying information for the books quoted from.
Caution: I don’t have time to specifically check for every case of plagiarism, but if found
extensively, it may be grounds for a failing mark. What is most important is for me to hear your
voice and your thoughts about what the authors say – especially in Part 2 and Part 3.
