What does the Bible say about blood and water from Jesus' side?

Answered in 1 source

The blood and water that flowed from Jesus' side symbolize the dual aspects of salvation: justification and sanctification.

In John 19:34, it is recorded that when a soldier pierced Jesus' side, blood and water came out, signifying both the justification of sin through Christ's blood and the regeneration represented by the water. This duality illustrates the complete salvation offered through Christ, fulfilling both the guilt of sin and the need for a new holy nature. Justification makes us not guilty before God, while the water represents our transformation into holiness, essential for entering into God's presence.
