TCR 576 - Charity, Faith and Regeneration; TCR 577 - The Lord Is Continually Regenerating Us

TCR 576

These two, charity and faith, are called means, 
because they conjoin a person with the Lord 
and make charity charity 
and faith faith. 
This is only possible if the person 
plays a part in his regeneration; 
this is why we say, with the person's co-operation.

TCR 577

A further consequence of this is 
that the Lord is continually 
in the process of regenerating a person, 
because He is continually 
in the process of saving him, 
and no one can be saved unless he is regenerated, 
exactly as the Lord said in John: 
he who is not born again 
cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3, 5-6). 
Regeneration is therefore the means to salvation, 
and charity and faith are the means to regeneration.
