Regenerate


Definition:

  • (a.) Reproduced.
  • (a.) Born anew; become Christian; renovated in heart; changed from a natural to a spiritual state.
  • (v. t.) To generate or produce anew; to reproduce; to give new life, strength, or vigor to.
  • (v. t.) To cause to be spiritually born anew; to cause to become a Christian; to convert from sin to holiness; to implant holy affections in the heart of.
  • (v. t.) Hence, to make a radical change for the better in the character or condition of; as, to regenerate society.

Example Sentences:
