Encountering Revival

Encountering page 374

ELWELL, WALTER AND YARBROUGH, ROBERT W., Third Edition (2013) Encountering The New Testament, Grand Rapids, Baker Academic.

I studied revival only briefly in my Christian, BA and MTS degrees.

The New Testament mentions Christians as being (for example and not exhaustive):

Born again (John 3)
Regenerated (Titus 3: 5)
Justified by grace through faith (Romans 1-8, Galatians, Titus 3)
Sanctified (Romans 6-8, 1 Corinthians 6)
In a new covenant (Luke 22, Hebrews 8: forward)
Having the mindset of Christ by the Spirit of God (Romans 8)

It seems to me that a changed worldview from that of a non-believer to that of a biblical (New Testament in particular) believer would also be a key result of legitimate and true Christian revival.
