What does the Bible say about the double cure for sin?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that true salvation requires both forgiveness of sin and a new nature, represented by blood and water in John 19:34.

The concept of the double cure is rooted in the biblical understanding that sin presents a twofold problem: the guilt of sin and the nature of sin. To be truly saved, both of these issues must be addressed. In John 19:34, we see a soldier pierce the side of Jesus, and from it flows both blood and water. The blood represents the justification from the guilt of our sins, while the water symbolizes the cleansing and transformation of our sinful nature. This twofold remedy of blood and water highlights the necessity of both forgiveness and regeneration as essential components of salvation.
