The Sword of the Spirit (special edition)

The sword of the Spirit is the word of God.  And today, these powerful passages of scripture touched my heart of hearts:

"The soldiers coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs; but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water."

Why not just blood?  Why water and blood?

"This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.  And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

For there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.  And there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement."

"But when the kindness of God our Saviour and His love for mankind appeared,

He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour"

Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
