John 8:23 (KJV)
Commentary on John 8:23
Jesus identifies the fundamental divide: 'Ye are from beneath; I am from above.' This establishes two humanities - those born of flesh (from beneath) and those born of Spirit (from above). Natural origin versus spiritual origin determines destiny. The Reformed doctrine of total depravity and regeneration finds clear expression: humanity's earthly origin leaves them unable to ascend to heavenly things without divine recreation.
