Regeneration is a transfer from the realm of the flesh into the realm of the Spirit (Rom 7:5-6; 8:5-9; Gal 5:16-25); a transfer from the earthly sphere into the heavenly sphere (Col 2:20-22; 3:1-10; Jn 17:14, 16; Php 3:19-20; Eph 1:3; 2:4-6); and becoming a slave of righteousness, no longer a slave of sin (Rom 6:16-22).
