For instance, like this: When Jesus died at Calvary, how many—what elements came from His body? Water, blood, Spirit. Is that right? Now, any minister, any believer knows that that’s what constitutes the new birth. Is that right? That constitutes the new birth, Saint John 7:5: “For there are three that bear record…of water, blood, and Spirit.” When they pierced His side, water and blood came out. He said, “Into Thy hands I commend my Spirit.” Those elements went from His body, and it takes those same elements to bring you to His body. That constitutes the new birth. Now, what constitutes a natural birth? It’s a mixed audience, but listen. The first thing is water, blood, spirit. See? Everything in the—everything in the natural and spiritual all type together. Watch. Get acquainted with God and you’ll see His great move in nature. You see Him in the sunsets, in the flowers, in everywhere. You can see Him all around you because He is all around you. That gives you perfect confidence that you’re in love with Him, and you’re—He’s in love with you. He loved you, predestinated you, foreordained you before the world begin, has brought you here, saved you, cleansed you up, and filled you with His Spirit. Well, how could you have doubt?…?…it. See? That gives you a perfect setting of faith. When you know those things, that gives you courage, and my, you know where you’re standing.
