Forgiveness and Rebirth! |
(Rom 6:1-6)
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."
(Jn 3:4-6)
"Nicodemus said to him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' Jesus answered, 'Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”'"
(1 Peter 3:21)
"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
(Acts 2:38-41)
"And Peter said to them, 'Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the
promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord
our God calls to him.' And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying,
'Save yourselves from this crooked generation." So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.'"
(Acts 22:16)
"Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name"
(Gal 3:27)
"For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
