This episode explores John 3 and asks what Jesus meant by being "born of water and of the Spirit." Drawing on Old Testament background and New Testament parallels, the host explains that "water" represents cleansing from sin and "Spirit" represents internal regeneration, together describing one simultaneous act of God's saving work received by faith.
