Introduction

Double washing
Provision of divine love for our failure in our walk
Maintaining our fellowship
One for the entire person, the other for feet
The former is once for all, the latter needs repeated daily
Washing is by the Word
The washing of regeneration is not by blood, though it is inseparable from redemption by blood, and neither one is ever repeated
Of the later
The one is for legal expiation
The other for moral purification
This cleansing is judicial, not experiential.
Illustration: like the sand at the beach. You have to constantly rinse.
Theoretical knowledge is of no value without carrying out of actions based on the knowledge
