Regeneration ____ the righteousness of God.

• A. Reveals
• B. Imparts
• C. Bestows
• D. Communicates

Answer: (B)

The statement tests how regeneration affects a person’s inner life. Regeneration is the Spirit’s work of giving a new birth, which brings a new nature that can live righteously. Because of that inner transformation, righteousness isn’t just something God puts on us from the outside; it is imparted to us—the believer receives a new, holy disposition and power that enables genuine righteous living. That nuance is why the best choice is a verb that means to give or infusion of an inner quality, namely impart.

Reveals would mean showing us righteousness we already don’t possess, which doesn’t capture the transformative gift at work. Bestows can read as a gift given externally but doesn’t stress the internal endowment essential to new birth. Communicates comes off like passing along information or a message, not the personal infusion of a righteous nature.
