Whitefield On Regeneration

'The doctrine of regeneration, or new birth in Christ Jesus, though one of the most fundamental doctrines of our holy religion; though so plainly and often pressed on us in sacred writ... though it is the very hinge on which the salvation of each of us turns... yet it is so seldom considered, and so little experimentally understood by the generality of professors, that were we to judge of the truth of it by the experience of most who called themselves Christians, we should be apt to imagine they had' not so much as heard' whether there be any such thing as regeneration or not.'

George Whitefield
