Baptism

                                                                   Baptism


Read: John 3:1-21
  
There are two types of baptism, one is water baptism and the other is baptism by the holy spirit. Both of these are important. Baptism by the holy spirit means accepting Jesus completely with all our heart, mind and soul and the water baptism means going on the resurrection cycle with Christ.  



The above image shows that we are crucified with him (Romans 6:6) which means before we got baptized either by holy spirit or water we are dead in Christ, buried with him. (Romans 6:4) As we go inside the water we go to the place of Jesus Christ who was in the tomb and risen with him (Colossians 3:4) means as we step out of the water we come of the burial ground as Jesus came out of the tomb and was risen.

As Mark 1:14 says that baptism is the sign of repentance and will be forgiven. We might question why to take water baptism when we have already accepted Christ as our saviour. If we have taken or got one of these baptisms and don't take the other, our believing in Christ is incomplete. We need both of these to completely be Christ's believers. The table below shows our life before and after we become complete believers:-

AMEN.

The Sermon On The Mount Series: Asking, Seeking, Knocking Read: Matthew 7:7-12 This post has been divided into the following parts,      1.  Ask and you shall receive      2.  Seek and you shall find     3.  Knock and it will be opened to you     4.  The giving nature of God [Matthew 7:9-12] 1. Ask and you shall receive:- According to Google, asking simply means to say to someone that one wants them to do or give something. In the first two verses, Jesus states two statements about asking, "Ask, and it will be given to you;" and "For everyone who asks, receives;" Jesus clearly says, ask and you will receive. But just asking in prayer, saying "I want this or I want that" won't work. When it comes to asking God for something, there is a certain mannerism in which we have to pray. When asking God, we must pray with- > Firm Faith , asking with confidence and trusting without any doubt if you will receive it or not. Fai...

Road Trip Of Life

Road Trip Of Life Read: Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat;  I  am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?  (MSG Version)     We all have been on road trips if not at least a long journey only on road. There are ups and downs in every journey. So is it with a believer? With many tensions and problems to face (no one can say they haven't been through one or will not go through because being a believer is not easy. But do not be discouraged by that but remember after every pain comes with a reward). Every believer has a journey but the destination is the same to be a part of his kingdom. Some maybe Job's, ...

The Sermon On The Mount Series: Relationship With God Read: Matthew 6:1-4, 16-21 & 24 This post has been divided into the following parts,      1. Do good to please God [Matthew 6:1-4]      2. Fasting [Matthew 6:16-18]      3. Lay up treasures in heaven [Matthew 6:19-21 & 24] 1. Do Good To Please God [Matthew 6:1-4]:- The first verse says, " Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.  If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. " Jesus instructs us to be careful when we practice righteousness in front of others. Being careful here means to be alert of our actions and intentions rather than the response of others. There can be two types of intentions, > God praising , who give all the glory to God and humble themselves before others just like Jesus. Jesus no matter what great miracles He did, humbled himself and gave praises to His Father. [Also see Matthew 5:16] ...
