Aqueous fluid to an infant's brow!

(Charles Spurgeon)

The most unpopular truth in the world, is this sentence which fell from the lips of Christ — "You must be born again!"

Consequently, there are all sorts of inventions to remove the truth out of those words. "Oh, yes!" say some, "you must be born again — but that means the application of aqueous fluid to an infant's brow!"

As God is true — that teaching is a lie! There is no grain or shade of truth within it! No operation that can be performed by man, can ever regenerate the soul. It is the work alone of God the Holy Spirit, who creates us anew in Christ Jesus.

Men do not like that truth.

Spiritual truth still displeases the natural man.

"You must be born again!"
