Subject: Why was Christ baptized? |
Bible Note: I believe that we learn more from the baptism of Jesus than what is listed in answer to this question. 1John 5:4-9, Romans 6:1-23, Jesus's baptism shows us his death, burial and resurrection, as stated in romans 6 ch., Then 1John 5:4-9, mainly vs.6 says "This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. Most think that H2O has no part in our salvation, but they forgot when Jesus may mention to Nicodemus that you Must be Born Again, Jesus said it would have to be by water and of the Spirit, to enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:3-12. Then when Jesus was on the cross for our sins, and one of the soldiers in John 19:34 with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. H2O, 1John 5:8 tells us that "there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Meaning you cannot seperate them, they all work together. Yes H2O has something to do with our salvation, weather we like it or not! This is why the chief priest and the elders would not answer the question Jesus asked them, about the baptism of John, is it from heaven or of men? Matt 21:23-27. We are washed in the blood of the Lamb, How? When we are Baptized in (water)(H2O) for the remission of our sins. Mark 1:4 tells us that John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be Baptized Every One Of You In The NAME OF JESUS CHRIST (FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS), and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Remission of sins when one is baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. This is the Grace of God through Faith, in which we are saved, some may not believe it, but that doesn't make not true! |
