  1. Hello, Happy Sabbath Day. It is quarter to three on Saturday,

  2. March sixteenth. So I want to study be baptized immediately?

  3. And what is the result of our baptism with the

  4. World Mission Society Church of God. So we'll start with

  5. Roman six, Death to sin, alive to God. What shall

  6. we say, then, are we too continuing sin that grace

  7. may abound by no means? How can we have died

  8. to sin still live in it? Do you not know

  9. that all us who had been baptized into Christ Jesus

  10. were baptized into his death. We were buried therefore with

  11. him by baptism into death and order that just as

  12. Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of

  13. the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

  14. For if we have been united with Him and a

  15. death like his, we shall certainly be united with him

  16. in a resurrection like his.

  17. We know that our old self or man, our.

  18. Physical self, was crucified with him in order that the

  19. body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that

  20. we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one

  21. who has died has been set free from sin. Now,

  22. if we have died with Christ, we believe that we

  23. will also live with him. We know that Christ, being

  24. raised from the dead, will never die again. Death no

  25. longer has dominion over him. For the death he died,

  26. he died to sin once. For all the life he lives,

  27. he lives to God. So you also must consider yourself

  28. dead to sin and alive to God.

  29. In Christ. Jesus, let no sin.

  30. Therefore, reign and your mortal body to make you obey

  31. hiss passions. Do not present your members to sin as

  32. instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourself to God as those

  33. who have been brought from death to life, and your

  34. members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will

  35. have no dominion over you, since you are not under

  36. the law but under grace. What then are we to sin?

  37. Because you are not under the law but under grace.

  38. By no means do you not know that if you

  39. present yourself to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves

  40. to the one whom you obey, either of sin, which

  41. leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness.

  42. But thanks be to God that you, who were once

  43. slaves of sin, have been become obedient from the heart

  44. to the standard of teachings to which you were committed, and,

  45. having been set free from sin, have been slaves of righteousness.

  46. I'm speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations.

  47. For just as you once presented your members as slaves

  48. to impurity, into lawlessness, leading to more lawlessness, so now

  49. present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.

  50. For when you were.

  51. Slaves to sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

  52. But what fruit were you getting at that time from

  53. the things of which you are now ashamed? For the

  54. end of those things is death. But now that you

  55. have been set free from sin had become slaves of God,

  56. the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end

  57. eternal life. For the wages of sin is death. But

  58. the free gift of God is eternal life. And Christ

  59. Jesus is our Lord. Or do you not know, brothers,

  60. For I speaking to those who know the law, that

  61. the law is binding on a person only as long

  62. as he lives. For a married woman is bound by

  63. law to her husband while he lives, but if her

  64. husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly,

  65. she should be called in adulters if she lives with

  66. another man while her husband is alive. But if her

  67. husband dies, she is free from the law and marries

  68. another man.

  69. She is not an adult.

  70. Just likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the

  71. law through the body of Christ, so that you may

  72. belong to another, to him who has been raised from

  73. the dead, in order that he may bear fruit for God.

  74. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful

  75. passions aroused by the law, we're at work and remembers

  76. to bear fruit for death. But now we are released

  77. from the law, having died to that which held us captives.

  78. So we serve in the new way of the Spirit,

  79. and not in the old way.

  80. Of the written code or of the letter. The letter is.

  81. The written code is the law of the flesh. But

  82. we live in the law the way, the new way

  83. of the spirit.

  84. We serve.

  85. What then, shall we say, then, the law is sin

  86. by no means. Yet if I had not been for

  87. the law, I would not have known sin. For I

  88. would not have known what is to covet if.

  89. The law.

  90. Had not said, you shall not covet, but sin seizing

  91. an opportunity through the commandment U seeing me all kinds

  92. of covetousness covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.

  93. I was once apart alive, apart from the law. But

  94. when the commandment came, sin came alive, and I died.

  95. The very commandment of that promised life proved to be

  96. death to me. For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment,

  97. deceive me, and through it killed me. So the Law

  98. is holy, and the Commandment is holy and righteous and good.

  99. So the new way of the Spirit is the Law

  100. and the commandment that is holy, righteous and good. Did

  101. that which is good then bring death to me? By

  102. no means? It was sin producing death in me through

  103. what is good, in order that sin might be shown

  104. to be sin, and that through the commandment, might become

  105. sinful beyond measure. For we know that the law is spiritual,

  106. but I am of the flesh, sould under sin. For

  107. I do not understand my own actions, for I do

  108. not do what I want, but I do the very

  109. things I hate. Now, if I do what I do

  110. not want, I agree that the law that is it

  111. is good. So now it no longer I who do it,

  112. but sin that swells within me. For I know that

  113. nothing good dwells in me that is in my flesh.

  114. For I have the desires to do what is good,

  115. but not the ability to carry it out. For I

  116. do not do the good I want, but the evil

  117. I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now,

  118. if I do what I do not want, it is

  119. no longer I who do it, but sin, who dwells

  120. within me. So I find it to be the law

  121. that when I want to do right, evil lives close

  122. at hand. For I go light in the law of

  123. God in my inner being, but I see in my

  124. members another law waging war against the law of my mind,

  125. and make me captive to the law of sin that

  126. dwells in my members. Wretched mand that I am, who

  127. will deliver me from this body of death, Thanks me

  128. to God through Christ Jeses our Lord. So then I

  129. myself serve the law of God with my mind, but

  130. with my flesh I serve the law of sin. And

  131. Chapter eight. There is therefore no condemnation for those worrying Jesus.

  132. The law of the Spirit of Life has set you

  133. free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

  134. For God has done with the law.

  135. Weakened by the flesh cannot do by sending his own

  136. son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin.

  137. He condemns sin in the flesh, in order that the

  138. righteous requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us,

  139. who walk not according to the flesh, but according to

  140. the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh

  141. set their minds on the things of the flesh. But

  142. those who live according to the Spirit, set their minds

  143. on the things of the Spirit. For to set the

  144. minds on the flesh is death, But to set the

  145. mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the

  146. mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God,

  147. for it does not submit to God's law. Indeed, it cannot.

  148. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, who, however,

  149. are not in the flesh, but in the spirit. If

  150. in fact, the Spirit of God dwells in you, anyone

  151. who does not have the spirit of Christ does not

  152. belong to him. So the Spirit of God is the

  153. spirit of Christ. But if Christ is in you, although

  154. the body is dead because of sin, the spirit and life.

  155. The spirit is life because of righteousness. If the spirit

  156. of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,

  157. he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead, will also

  158. give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who

  159. dwells in you.

  160. Verse twelves.

  161. Then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to

  162. live according to the flesh. For if you live according

  163. to the flesh, you will die. But if by the

  164. Spirit you puts the death the deeds of the body,

  165. you will live. For all who are led by the

  166. Spirit of God or sons of God, for you do

  167. not receive the spirit of slavery to.

  168. Fall back into fear.

  169. We received the spirit of adoption and sons to whom

  170. we cry abba Father. The Spirit himself bears witness with

  171. our spirit that we are children of God. And if children,

  172. then heirs heirs of God and fellow heir with Christ.

  173. Provided we suffer with Him in order that we may

  174. also be glorified with Him. For I consider that the

  175. sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with

  176. the glory that is to.

  177. Be revealed to us.

  178. For the creation waits with eager longing for their feeling

  179. of the sons of God. So the creation was subjective

  180. to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected

  181. it in hope that the creation itself we step free

  182. from his bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of

  183. the glory of the children of God. For we know that,

  184. we know that the whole creation has been groaning together

  185. in pains of childbirth until now, and not only the creation,

  186. but we ourselves to have the first fruits of the

  187. spirit grown inwardly, as we eagerly for the we wait

  188. eagerly for the adoption of sons redemption of our bodies,

  189. for in this hope we were safe.

  190. Now.

  191. Hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes

  192. for what he sees. But if we hope for what

  193. we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Likewise,

  194. the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses if we do

  195. not know what we what to pray for as we ought.

  196. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too

  197. deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what

  198. is the mind of the Spirit. Because the Spirit intercedes

  199. for the saints according to the.

  200. Will of God.

  201. And we know that for those who love God, all

  202. all things work together for good, for those who are

  203. called according to His purpose, for those whom he foreknew.

  204. He also predestined to be conformed to the image of

  205. his son, in order that he might be the first

  206. born among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he

  207. also called, and those whom he called he also justified,

  208. And those whom he justified he also glorified. Gods that

  209. were lasting love shall What, then, shall we say to

  210. these things? If God is for us, who can be

  211. against us? He who did not spare his own son,

  212. but gave him up for us all, How will he

  213. not also with him graciously give us all things? Who

  214. shall bring any charge against God's elect It is God

  215. who justifies who is to condemn Christ. Jesus is the

  216. one who died more than that who is raised, who

  217. is at the right hand of God, who indeed is

  218. interesteding for us. Who shall separate us from the love

  219. of Christ? Shall tribulation our distress, or persecution, or famine,

  220. or nakedness, or danger or sort as it is written?

  221. For your sake, we are being killed all day life,

  222. for we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. No,

  223. and all these things, we are more than conquerors through

  224. Him who loved us. For I'm sure that neither death

  225. nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor

  226. things to.

  227. Come, nor powers, nor height nor.

  228. Depth, nor anything else, and all creation will be able

  229. to separate.

  230. Us from the Love of God.

  231. In Christ, Jesus, our Lord, I am speaking the truth.

  232. In Christ, I am not lying. My evidence fares me

  233. witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow

  234. with an unceasing anguish in my heart.

  235. For I could wish that.

  236. I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for

  237. the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen. According to the

  238. flesh their Israelites, and to them belongs the adoption, the glory,

  239. the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and

  240. the promises. To them belong the patriarchs. And from their race.

  241. According to the flesh is the Christ. To is God overall,

  242. blessed forever.

  243. Amen.

  244. But it is not as though the word of God

  245. has failed. For not all who were descended from Israel

  246. belong to Israel, and not all our children of Abraham,

  247. because they are his offspring.

  248. But through eyes they clear you aspring be named.

  249. This means that it is not the children of the

  250. flesh who are children of God, but the children of

  251. the promises promise are counted as offspring. For this is

  252. what the promise said about the next time, the year

  253. I will return and Sarah shall have a son. And

  254. not only so, but when Rebecca had conceived children by

  255. one man or forefather Isaac, though they were not born

  256. and had nothing done on nothing either good or bad.

  257. And know that God's purpose of election might continue not

  258. because of works, but because of him who calls. She

  259. was told the older were served the younger, As it

  260. is written, Jacob, I love East, so I hated. What

  261. shall we say, then, is there injustice on God's part

  262. by no means?

  263. For he says to Moses.

  264. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and

  265. I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. So

  266. then it depends not on human will or exertion, but

  267. on God, who has mercy.

  268. So the scripture says to Pharaoh, for.

  269. This purpose, I have raised you up that I might

  270. show my power in you, and that MY name might

  271. be proclaimed in all the earth. Then has mercy on

  272. whoever he wills, and he hardens whoever he wills. So

  273. we could see that when we are buried with Christ

  274. and baptism Father Jehovah's son Jesus Holy Spirit Christ on

  275. so on home we receive a new life, and the

  276. promise is eternal life. Death throat it mains don't know

  277. when their execution will be carried out. The baptism ceremony

  278. contains God, the love of God. Proverbs twenty seven, verse one.

  279. You could see the confirmation. Do not boast about tomorrow,

  280. for you do not know what a day may bring.

  281. So no death or inmate on this earth. None of

  282. us knows what will happen, even tomorrow, even the next moment.

  283. We were like vapor that appears for a little while

  284. and then vanishes. That's what it says in James. So

  285. let's see a story about someone who had no regard

  286. to what would be the outcome of his soul. Luke twelve,

  287. verse sixteen. And he told them a parable the powable

  288. of the rich fool. The land of a rich man

  289. produced plentifully. And he thought to himself, what shall I do,

  290. for I have nor to store my crops. And he said,

  291. I will do this. I will tear down my barns

  292. and build larger ones.

  293. In there.

  294. I will store all my grain and my goods, and

  295. I will stay to my soul. Soul, you have ample

  296. good laid up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, be merry.

  297. This is how a lot of people are living. But

  298. God said to him, fool this night, your soul is

  299. required of you, and the things you have prepared prepared

  300. who's will they be?

  301. So is the one who lays.

  302. Up treasure for himself and is not rich towards God.

  303. So we need to prepare for our next life in

  304. the Kingdom of heaven, and not in which which is

  305. our soul prepared for our next life with God in heaven.

  306. And this person is a fool because they are they're saying, Okay,

  307. I have so much stuff that I'm just gonna you know,

  308. I want to keep all my stuff, and I'm just

  309. gonna make more larger barns and store up all my

  310. grains and my goods. So we don't know what's going

  311. to happen tomorrow. Therefore we should prepare for for the

  312. Kingdom of heaven as if his tomorrow acts eight verse

  313. twenty six.

  314. To thirty nine. This is an.

  315. Example of Philip, an apostle of Christ, who did not

  316. delay baptism for three to six months, as these babylon

  317. churches are saying, unless people are baptized, they cannot take

  318. off the burden of sin. So Acts eight, verse twenty six.

  319. Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, rise

  320. and go towards the south to the road that goes

  321. from Jerusalem to Gasa.

  322. This is a desert place. And he rose and went.

  323. And there was an Ethiopian, a un court official of Candace,

  324. Queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all

  325. her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and

  326. was returning seated with a seated in his chariot, and

  327. he was reading the Prophet Isaiah. And the spirits said

  328. to Phillip Philip was under the law of the spirit

  329. because he obeyed the spirit. The spirits had to filop,

  330. go over and join the chariot. So Philip ran to

  331. him and heard him reading the Isaiah the prophet, and asked,

  332. do you understand what you are reading? And he said,

  333. how can I unless someone guides me. And he invited

  334. Philip to come up and stay with him. Now, the

  335. passage of the scripture that he was reading was this,

  336. like a sheep, he was led to the slaughter and

  337. like a lamb beford's Jews silence. So he opens not

  338. his mouth, and his humiliation justice was denied him who

  339. can describe his generation? For his life is taken away

  340. from the earth. And the eunuch said, to fill up

  341. about whom I asked you? Does the prophet say this

  342. about himself or about someone else? Then phil opened his

  343. mouth and begin and begin with the scripture.

  344. He told him the good news about Jesus.

  345. As they were going along the road, they came to

  346. some water, and the eunuch said, see here is water.

  347. What prevents me from being baptized? And he commanded to

  348. the chariot to step, and they both went down into

  349. the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

  350. And when they came up out of the water, the

  351. spirit of the Lord carries Philip away, and the eunuch

  352. saw him no more and went on his way of rejoicing.

  353. But Philip found himself at azetized, and he passed through.

  354. He preached the.

  355. Gospel to all the towns until they came to cesarea.

  356. So this is an example. He didn't wait.

  357. He immediately was baptized when he heard the good news.

  358. This is the world mission stidy Church of God in

  359. the Apostolic Age in the days of the Acts, they

  360. baptized immediately. We keep the same teachings now in these days,

  361. Acts ten, verse forty eight. And he commanded them to

  362. be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they

  363. asked him to remain for some days. Peter declared them

  364. verse forty six. Can anyone withhold water from baptizing these

  365. people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?

  366. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name

  367. of Jesus Christ. So Peter was testifying for people to

  368. be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

  369. So this is the tra the trace of the early Church.

  370. And we are doing the reformation of the truth and

  371. be and baptizing people in the name of Christ. Don

  372. sung Hoolk in these days. So if you were already

  373. baptized in a church, and you said I've already been baptized,

  374. you should be rebaptized into the correct name.

  375. For this age.

  376. Acts sixteen, verse twenty nine or thirty one. They start

  377. at twenty five. Acts sixteen, verse twenty five. About midnight,

  378. Paul and Stealers were praying and singing hymn to God,

  379. and the prisoners were listening to them. And suddenly there

  380. was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the

  381. prisons were shaken. And immediately all the doors were open,

  382. and everyone bond. Everyone's bonds were unfastened. When the jailer

  383. woke and saw that the prison door were open, he

  384. drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing

  385. that the prisoners had escaped, But Paul cried with a

  386. loud voice, do not harm yourself, for we are all here.

  387. And the jailer called for the lights and rushed in,

  388. and trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Sealus.

  389. Then he brought them out and said, sir, what must

  390. I do to be saved? And they said, believe in

  391. the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and

  392. your household.

  393. This is the age of the Sun.

  394. When Paul would testify to believe in the name Jesus.

  395. And they spoke the word of the Lord to him

  396. and to all who were in the house. And he

  397. took them in the same hour of the night and

  398. washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once.

  399. He and all his family.

  400. Then he brought them into his house and set food

  401. before them, and he rejoiced, along with his entire household,

  402. that he had believed in God. So Paul immediately baptized

  403. the jailer and also his entire household Acts nineteen. And

  404. it happened that while Apollos was at current, Paul passed

  405. through the inland or highland country and came to Aphacius.

  406. There he found some disciples, and he said to them,

  407. did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? And

  408. they said no, we have not even heard that there

  409. is a Holy Spirit. And he said into what then?

  410. Were you baptized? They said, into John's baptism, And Paul said,

  411. John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling.

  412. The people to believe in the one.

  413. Who was to come after him, that is Jesus. On

  414. hearing this, they were rebaptized into the name of the

  415. Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands on them,

  416. the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking

  417. in tongues and prophesying. There were about twelve men in all.

  418. Did they refuse to be baptized again? Since they were

  419. baptized before, shouldn't we be baptized into the New name.

  420. What is the promise in baptism? Acts two thirty eight.

  421. And Peter said to them, repent and be baptize, every

  422. one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for

  423. the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the

  424. gifts of the Holy Spirit for the promises for you

  425. and for your children, and for all who are far off,

  426. everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. And

  427. with many other words, he bore witness and continued to

  428. extort them, saying, exhort them, exhort them, not exhort them, saying,

  429. save yourselves from this crooked generation.

  430. So those who received his words.

  431. Were baptized, and they were added to that day three

  432. thousand souls Mark sixteen, verse five. You save your souls

  433. through baptism, Mark sixteen, verse fifteen. And he said to them,

  434. to the eleven disciples, go into all the world and

  435. proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and

  436. is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe

  437. will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who

  438. believe in my name. They will cast out demons. They

  439. will speak in new tongues, and they will pick up

  440. serpents with their hands. And if they drink any daily poison,

  441. it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands

  442. on the stick, and they will recover. So then the

  443. Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken

  444. up into heaven and sat down in the right hand

  445. of God, and then went out and preached everywhere. While

  446. the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by

  447. accompanying signs. So baptism also contains the death of Christ

  448. on the cross. Our body of sin should be crucified

  449. to God, the creator was mocked, ridiculed by his creation.

  450. If he didn't go through the suffering, unbearable suffering, we

  451. would have to endure that forever, worse, even worse. And

  452. what did he go through? Matthew twenty six, verse thirty six.

  453. Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane,

  454. and he said to his disciples, stay here while I

  455. go over there and pray, And taking with him Peter

  456. and the two sons of Zebde, he began to be

  457. sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, my soul

  458. is very sorrowful, sorrowful even to death. Remain here and

  459. watch with me. And going a little further farther, he

  460. fell on his face and prayed, saying, my father, if

  461. it be possible, this cup passed from me. Nevertheless, not

  462. as I will, but as you will. So he came

  463. to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said

  464. to Peter, so could you not watch with me one hour?

  465. Watch and pray that you may not fall into temptation.

  466. The spirit, indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Yees.

  467. He knew he was going to suffer extreme agony. This

  468. is the purpose two verse twelve. Having been buried with

  469. him in baptism, in which you were also raised with

  470. him through faith in the powerful working of God who

  471. raised him from the dead, and you, who were dead

  472. in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God

  473. made a live together with him. Having forgiven all the

  474. trespasses by canceling the record of debt that stood against

  475. us with its legal demands, this he set aside, nailing

  476. it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities

  477. and put them to put them to open shame. By

  478. triumphing over them in Him. So we should be buried

  479. in the name of Christ and sung holme through baptism

  480. to get forgiveness of sins in the in the age

  481. of the Holy Spirit, the last days that we are

  482. living in.

  483. Thanks for listening and stay changed.
