Jesus said, The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit (John 3:8). To be born of the Holy Spirit is also known as regeneration. We are born from above, because the Holy Spirit comes from above
Being born of the Spirit works like the wind. The Holy Spirit works as the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). His power is omnipotent. The wind moves at unexpected times and in unexpected ways. It's hard to explain, and often difficult to understand. The Holy Spirit, like the wind, moves when, where, and how He pleases. To be born of the Holy Spirit is beyond our full comprehension.
Being born of the Spirit changes our hearts (Ezekiel 36:26). It is the work of only one, the Holy Spirit (John 3:7-8). He enables us to have a genuine love for God and a heart to obey Jesus our Lord. The Holy Spirit works in us, what we could never do for ourselves. We become a new creation in Christ (John 3:6; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
Being born of the Spirit enables our faith, confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God (1 John 5:1). By the Holy Spirit, we confess Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3). That means we believe Jesus our Lord is risen from the dead (Romans 10:9).
