24在约翰福音里,神国的启示是基于三章的两节圣经。三节说,“我实实在在地告诉你,人若不重生,就不能见神的国。”五节说,“我实实在在地告诉你,人若不是从水和灵生的,就不能进神的国。”……要见神的国,就必须重生。要进神的国,就必须从水和灵生。水表征我们众人受浸所归入之基督的死,灵表征复活(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,五六
24The revelation of the kingdom of God in John is based upon two verses in John 3. Verse 3 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Then verse 5 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”…To see the kingdom we need to be born anew. To enter into the kingdom we need to be born of water and the Spirit. Water signifies the death of Christ, into which we all have been baptized, and the Spirit signifies resurrection. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John,” p. 438)
