In this second installment of the three-part series on spiritual rebirth, J. C. Ryle explores the divine origin, means, and agency behind regeneration.

Having established the absolute necessity of the new birth in Sermon I, Ryle turns to a vital question: How does a dead soul come to life?

Preached with deep pastoral earnestness and uncompromising fidelity to Scripture, this sermon examines the divine Cause and ordinary instruments of spiritual renewal:

The Sovereign Cause: Why no man can quicken his own heart or bring himself to life, and why regeneration is strictly the supernatural work of God the Holy Ghost.

The Ordinary Means: How the Holy Spirit ordinarily operates through three essential channels—the faithful preaching of the Gospel, the reading of Holy Scripture, and earnest prayer.

The Diversity of Operations: How the Spirit works variously across ages, times, and circumstances—whether suddenly or gradually, in youth or maturity—while producing the same saving work in every child of God.

Continuing the landmark three-sermon trilogy on John 3:3, Regeneration – Sermon II offers rich biblical comfort for believers and a solemn awakening for the careless. An invaluable resource for listeners of Reformed theology, historic evangelical doctrine, and faithful Christian preaching.
