Entrance to The Kingdom

Aug18

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:5 NASB1995

Salvation is much more than walking an aisle in church, saying a prayer, and then being dunked in water.
Salvation is a decision to live a whole new lifestyle with Jesus at the helm, head, steering wheel, etc. It is placing Jesus on the throne of your heart.
As John 3:5 states, you must be born of water. What does that mean? Jesus, having mercy on us, cleanses us from all filthiness, sin in our lives. That is being born of water. (Ephesians 5:26)
Baptism symbolizes a washing of regeneration, a transformation of our soul for the glory of God. This means sin has been washed away, and our lives are now centered on living in and for the kingdom of God.
Salvation is not only the cleansing, but also comes to us with the blessing of the Holy Spirit who is richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ, our Savior, residing in us. That is being born of the Spirit. (John 3:6)
We are being renewed, transformed into the image of our Lord by the Spirit of God living in us. (Titus 3:5-7; 2 Corinthians 3:18)

🌹Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

1 John 2:12-14

Aug19

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
1 John 2:12‭-‬14 NASB

🌹God of all creation,  praise and glory to Your name for sending Jesus, Your Son. I was found as a child needing milk when Jesus found me, washed me, sanctified me and justified me!! Hallelujah I have been forgiven in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of my God. I know the Father because I know the Son and keep His commandments! Hallelujah!!!
As I grow in faith and encounter tribulation in the world, I shall experience peace knowing You, Jesus, have overcome the world. I will endure, overcoming the evil one because I will be strong in the strength of Your might.
I want to grow to full maturity believing in what was from the beginning, and by what I have experienced concerning the Word of Life. Your Word fully abiding in me. Prepare me to bow before Your heavenly throne unashamed Lord my God. In the perfect name of Jesus I pray, amen.
