Water and the Spirit

"In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit; what is born of human nature is human; what is born of the Spirit is spirit." (John 3: 5-6)

The Spirit and divine filiation

The Sacrament of Baptism washes away original sin and makes us member of the family of God. Moreover, we receive the Holy Spirit when we are baptized. The Holy Spirit makes us children of God.
