Object of regeneration...

May I offer for your consideration today a question to ponder over; What is the object of regeneration?  The answer I like most is found in the Institutes of Christian Religion by John Calvin and he states:

The object of regeneration…is to manifest in the life of believers a harmony and agreement between God’s righteousness and their obedience, and thus to confirm the adoption that they have received as sons (Galatians 4:5; 2Peter 1:10).  The law of God contains in itself that newness by which His image can be restored in us.

The Heidelberg Catechism states that genuine repentance and conversion will effect obedience to God’s law:

            Question 88:  In how many things does true repentance or conversion consist? (Answer) In two things: the dying of the old man, and the quickening of the new.

            Question 89:  What is the dying of the old man?  (Answer) Heartfelt sorrow for sin; causing us to hate and turn from it always more and more.

            Question 90:  What is the quickening of the new man?  (Answer) Heartfelt joy in God; causing us to take delight in living according to the will of God in all good works.

            Question 91:  But what are good works?  (Answer) Those only which are done from true faith, according to the law of God, for His glory; and not such as rest on our own opinion or the commandments of man.

"The man who has experienced God’s gracious regeneration, who has been renewed in his Creator’s image, who has responded to God’s grace with genuine repentance, will have an overwhelming desire to please his Lord by meticulous observance of the law.  Herein man glorifies God and enjoys Him forever."  

-- Greg Bahnsen, Theonomy in Christian Ethics, chap 11, pg 234.

My question to you today is, do your actions answer true or false in considering the object of regeneration?
