We Have All We Need
When we stop to realize what we truly have in Christ-joy and contentment
will follow. We have all we need to be satisfied and secure. Psalm 13(:5
tell us "Thou hast best (surrounded) me behind and before, and laid thine
hand upon me." God is love, therefore, e are totally surrounded by God's
love, That in itself should be enough, but he provides (as usual) more than
we need. We also are filled by the Holy Spirit of God to comfort us. Total
joy, thanks be to God. Think about it- surrounded by God's love and filled
I with his comforting spirit. Still, that's not all?Christ, Himself, is our guide
through this earthly walk and His light shines on out path way. Then just
in case we strop to doubt, fear or worry, we can look over our shoulder and
be reminded "Goodness and mercy shall follow me?ll the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." I am complete in Him,
now and through out eternity.
Baptized by H ater and the Spirit
Jesus said "Except a man be bom of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God." John 3:5.
Christ referred to water baptism and to the renewing of the heart b> the Spirit
of God. In this Search for Truth lesson Elder Joseph Bullard explains how
baptism by water and by the Spirit is far more than just a ceremony It has to do
w ill) the heart; the fountain of the heart must be purified before the streams
can become pure. The true Christian life is not a modification or improvement
of the old but a transformation of nature. There is death to self and sin and a
new life altogether. This change can be brought about only by the effectual
working of the Hols Spirit in ayielded life.
Baptism by water and by the Spirit is far more than just a form. John 3:5:
"Jesus answered Verily, verily. 1 say unto thee. Except a man be bom of water
and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
Is the Holy Spirit brings conviction to a man's heart, he repents of his sins
and he longs to be pure. He will then want to be baptized as Jesus was.
Matthew 28:19-20: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the father, and of the Son. and of the Holy Ghost: (20) Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo. I am
with y ou alw ay. even unTo the end of the world. Amen."
Jesus did not receive baptism as a confession of His guilt, but as our example.
Matthew 3:13-/7: "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto
John, to be baptized of him. (14) But John forbade him. saying. I have need to
be baptized of thee and comest thou to me? (15) And Jesus answering said
unto him. Suffer it to be so now; for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.
Then he suffered him. (16) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water; and, lo. the heavens were opened unto him. and
he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: (17)
And lo a voice from heaven, say ing. This is my beloved Son. in whom I am
well pleased."
Faith is essential-faith in Jesus Christ to save. Mark 16:15-16: "And he
said unto them. Go ye into all he world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned."
The conviction of the Holy Spirit brings repentance- a genuine sorrow for
sin and a tumiag from sin- and a longing for that divine association. Acts
8:38, 41: "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 Ghost. (41) Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized; and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls."
There is only one way to he baptized and that is by immersion. Acts 8:26-38:
"And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip. say ing. Arise, and go toward the
south unto the was that goeth down form Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is
desert. (27) And he arose and went: and. behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch
of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, w ho had the charge
of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship. (28) Was returning
and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet (29) Then the Spirit said unto
Phillip. Go near, and join thyself to this chariot (30) And Phillip ran thitherto
him. and heard him read the prophet Esaias. and said. Understandest thou
what thou readest0 931) and he said. Hoss can I. except some man should
guide me? And he desired Phillip that he w ould come up and sit w ith him. (32)
The place of the scripture which he read was this. He was led as a sheep to the
slaughter: and like a lamb dumb before his shearers, so opened he not his
mouth: (33) In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
declare his generation? For his life is taken form the earth. (34) And the eunuch
answered Phillip, and said. I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of
himself or of some other man? (35) Then Phillip opened his mouth, and began
at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. (36) And as they went on
their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said. See. here is
water: what doth hinder me to be baptized? (37) And Phillip said, if thou
believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said. I believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38) And he commanded the chariot
to stand still; and they went down both into the water, both Phillip and the
eunuch; and he baptized him."
.4s the crucified body of his Lord was buried in the tomb, so in the rite of
immersion the believer is buried in the watery grave. (Romans 6:3-4): "Know
ye not that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into
his death? (4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like
as Christ was raised up from the dead bv the glory "of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life."
Baptism should not be delayed. Acts 16:25-33: "Sirs, what must I do to be
saved? (3) And they said. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house. (32) And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and
to all that were in his house. (33) And he took them the same hour ofthe night,
and washed their stripes: and was baptized, he and all his, straightway."
If you have not been baptized, may God bless you and help you to make your
decision now to be baptized as soon as possible. Acts 22:16: "And now why
tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the
name of the Lord.". ?
