Humans, made in the image of God, are born through a process in which the amniotic fluid falls away and finally, a new drink is introduced by the Mother thereof. Through reconsidering our sins and walking in the Spirit received by faith, in obedience to God's Word, we are graciously saved by faith that Jesus was sent from the Holy Father and was raised from the dead (Rom. 10:9)! Having believed, one should baptize another in pure water, which signifies cleansing by the Blood of the Lamb - being dead to the flesh, buried to fulfill the Law, and resurrected with Him in the Spirit - we show obedience to our Father in Heaven and offer evidence to others, of His work in us (Mark 16:16).
Being made members of the Body of Christ, we receive Divine empowerment, known as the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which testifies that we are reborn as Sons and Daughters of God - gracefully permitted to enter into His Kingdom.
Therefore, let's never stop proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation, reaching out from a secure place to make disciples of all who need redemption, baptizing them in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, so that they may receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit, and become Heirs of the Father, in Christ Jesus (Acts 2:38). Through this and teaching observance of all Jesus commanded, we are rest assured of a great inheritance, as a fruit-bearing branch in the True Vine - deserving of Christ's welcoming embrace (Matt. 5:19 & 28:20).
PRAYER: In Jesus' gracious name, thank You, Ever-Loving Father for the grace to be born of water and the Holy Spirit, which makes me highly favored as an Heir of Your Heavenly Kingdom - permitted to enter Paradise,
Amen!
From John 3:5
