- God willing I have had education as well in university. While at university and fierce turbulence to pave my way in academics as well as in other disciplines my ostensibly insights and foreground not only leads me into probing but also guides me on cutting-edge modern day different basics—with these apt and depth of creativity I often set off heavenly to be the limit. Covering my transition into higher education the principles of a relatively low tone, accuracy coupled with a discernible state or any combination thereof greatly distinguished me among others. Well about everything is where, and with whom, and also when I will match these traits studied.
- That life was only ephemeral as I was bound to my sins from the soles of my feet to the tip of my head intact in my heart. With a contrite spirit guilty of the 12 sins, the Ten Commandments as well as the 613 detailed statutes of the Law, I then began my findings to the truth of this burdensome problem of my sins from the saving grace of the promised Word of our Lord until I met the gospel of the water and the Spirit. All at once these sins got remitted when I believed that Jesus Christ bore our sins on His head by being baptized by John, shed His blood on the Cross, died vicariously on that Cross and resurrected after His death. This chain of events including Jesus' water baptism and His blood on the Cross, His resurrection from the dead three days after, His ascension to Heaven and sitting at the right hand of God the Father and His second advent built my foundation in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Even so, my future sins to be committed after being born again of the gospel of the water and the Spirit were also all at once taken care of likewise. It is in my keeping this brief souvenir outline about my novice before and after being born again of the heavenly gospel of the water and the Spirit. I just wanted to inform you that I myself have not forgotten the episode in my life yet!
- But what about if I continue to spill sin and act lowly in my deeds even after being born again of the gospel of the water and the Spirit—that is, born from above, being born-again from the faith in Jesus' shouldering our sins at His baptism by John the Baptist at the Jordan River and His bloodshed on the Cross? Certainly it is very true, too, even with the born-again. Yet, in fact, those born again of the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit drink the water springing up from the fountain into everlasting life given by Jesus Christ in the Lord-spoken Word of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Let me illustrate this with what the Bible says. By trying to retreat his ministry after knowing Jesus as the Messiah to come and the Son of God from the witness in John 1:29-36 and of Matthew 3:13-17 from God the Father when he passed all the sins of the world by baptizing Jesus and then Jesus accepts and receives His baptism being given by John the Baptist, to reveal the Lord Jesus to Israel, John the Baptist even said, "He [Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). For example, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, clearly was first of all John's disciple, before he followed the Lord after hearing of Jesus' witness by John the Baptist (John 1:40). As such, Andrew, one of the two disciples of John the Baptist became a disciple of Jesus by believing in the Lord Jesus and followed Him. In the Gospel of Matthew 11:2-3 it is recorded that John the Baptist himself a witness bearing testimony of Him while he was in prison sends forth all the two of his disciples and far away from being a failure or doubting this Jesus he rather wanted these disciples of his, whom by then hadn't acknowledged this Messiah and Savior Jesus Christ, to be properly educated by Him and to let them to know this Jesus. In order to so on account of that was for them to hear from Him first-hand.
- The truth is you and I remain insufficient even after being born-again and should never ever be intimidated by such mistakes. But tangible enough is our prayer of confession for these lowly sinful acts of the flesh and insufficiencies to God instead. The Holy Spirit assuredly fills in this gap to form a life like a tree with good fruits. Rather than the erroneous prayers of repentance practiced by most Christians nowadays which parallels the faith of the circumcisionists in the Early Church age.
- Aha! This is correct. Here now is our only work to do in believing in God's Word, Jesus Christ and thirdly in His messenger John the Baptist, who transferred all the sins of mankind in the world on to the head of Jesus at His baptism in the Jordan River followed by His crucifixion, and as well as fourthly in His servants, that is to say, you and I entrusted with duties of plowing the hearts and sowing the seeds in every field of the heart of mankind. And for God Almighty to provide the workers to reap abundantly during the harvest. Given this, to leave a crass decision which gives rise to drudgery in order to possess the fruits of the Spirit is the right choice. Amos 3:3 says, "Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?" Now who wants to cork the new footprints toward our salvation, the Truth of the gospel of the water and the Spirit? ''If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink," says the God of gods and the Lord of all hosts. Hallelujah!
