185. Regeneration is [wrought] by the Lord alone. The Lord alone regenerates man, and it is not done at all either by man or by an angel, no. 10067. Man's regeneration is an image of the Lord's glorification; that is, just as the Lord made His Human Divine, so He makes spiritual the man whom He regenerates, nos. 3043, 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688, 10057, 10076. The Lord wills to have the whole of the man whom He regenerates, and not only a part of him, no. 6138.
