Baptism ,to be born again has been on my mind a lot over the last few years. Today’s reading cemented that idea that I need to be baptised when I’m ready.
When I was very young, my parents got divorced and this resulted in a lifestyle in which I didn’t attend church like I should. My mom loves Jesus but for whatever reason did not make it a priority to take me and my siblings to church. When I was a freshman in high school, I found God speaking to me like never before, and I really wanted to be baptized. I felt like I couldn’t get baptized because I wasn’t a consistent member at any church. I eventually was baptized, and I truly believe that it is an important part of showing your faith to God; however, I think it’s also important to remember that being baptized does not MAKE anyone a Christian. I love remembering the fact that I have Jesus in my heart and that is what will get me to Heaven one day, not me being baptized. So if you are struggling with that, I offer you comfort and hope that helps!!!
“Truly truly I say unto you unless a man is born of water and spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” Such a clear picture of water baptism and spirit baptism❤
Grace Cox the flood is the reason God needed to send his Son. The flood shows the consequences of sin are death. God hates sin and it seperates us from him. Jesus came in our place to die on our behalf so we didn’t have to. God knows our human nature is evil, he even allows his own Spirit to live inside us if we are to accept the gift so our human nature can be replaced by His God nature. I hope that helps answer some of your questions.
