John 3:3-6 ESV
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
The person born of flesh is from the water of mankind. This is the face of the deep that the Spirit hovers over at the beginning of our creation. We are born in the flesh that we might be reborn of the Spirit.
To enter the kingdom of God, one must be born from the waters of mankind and then reborn from the Spirit above. Heaven and earth are joined in this way.
