Which trio is wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ?

• A. Justification
• B. Regeneration
• C. The New Birth
• D. Justification, Regeneration, and the New Birth

Answer: (D)

Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ brings about salvation in three connected ways: justification, regeneration, and the new birth.

Justification is God’s legal declaration that the believer is righteous in His sight. It happens because of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and is received through faith, not by our own works. This means a person is treated as if theymern had never sinned, because Christ’s righteousness is accounted to them.

Regeneration is the Holy Spirit imparting new spiritual life to the believer. It’s a real inner work that makes a person alive to God where there once was spiritual deadness. Through faith in the blood, the Spirit brings about a transformative life that can respond to God.

The New Birth refers to the outcome of that spiritual life—being born anew into God’s family and starting a new existence as a follower of Christ. It captures the experiential turning point and ongoing transformation that flow from receiving new life.

All three are interrelated stages of the same gospel work triggered by faith in Christ’s sacrifice. Justification provides the standing before God, regeneration gives the life, and the new birth expresses the tangible change in living. That’s why the complete trio—justification, regeneration, and the new birth—best describes what faith in the blood accomplishes.
