“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
John 3:6 (KJV)
Commentary on John 3:6
Jesus draws a fundamental distinction: 'That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.' Two realms, two sources, two natures. Fleshly birth produces fleshly existence—unable to perceive or enter God's kingdom. Spiritual birth requires the Spirit's work, producing spiritual life. This explains why new birth is necessary: physical existence, no matter how refined or religious, cannot produce spiritual life. Different origins yield different natures.
