Regeneration “is not a change from nature into grace; it is a change from broken nature to restored nature, and the change is accomplished by grace. We are not changed into grace, we are transformed by grace. When Jesus changed the water into wine, it was natural water and the result was natural wine. The miracle was in the verb, not in the resultant noun. Jesus didn’t turn water into ambrosia” (Against the Church, p. 141).

This is relevant because of the overwhelming N.T. language that we are included in that miraculous noun.
