A solid student of the Bible will use excellent hermeneutics (the study of biblical interpretation) to discover the meaning of this verse. We must look at what the verse means in relation to its surrounding verses, chapter, book, and in the whole context of the biblical narrative. The whole Bible is God’s Word, and from start to conclusion, it’s ab...
The Greek word used here (γεννημένος ξανά) is ambiguous and can mean “again” or “from above,” and either rendition works in the passage. Jesus knew the man needed to experience new birth, as does everyone. This passage is our introduction to that truth. The Apostle Paul tells us in Colossians 2:13, “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the...
To understand this phrase, we need to consider a passage in Ezekiel. “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

As Scripture has revealed to us, both John 3:3 and John 3:5do not say we have to be baptized to be saved. Neither is this command found anywhere else in Scripture.

Therefore, we partake in baptism as a result of our salvation and as witness to Jesus’ atoning work on the cross. The Holy Spirit works through it to help us remember what Chr...
God created Adam as a perfect and sinless man, until Adam and Eve sinned and brought death to the human race. Jesus came to earth — fully God and fully man — to atone for the sin (and death) imputed to use by our federal head — Adam. We sin because we are born sinners. We deserve death and we need God to save us, for we can’t save ourselves. God se...
The Baptism of Jesus - Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

Jan 30, 2024 · Jesus wasn't baptized for the same reasons that us believers need to be baptized. Instead, his baptism confirms his identity as the Messiah, and demonstrates his willingness to take on humanity to be the perfect atonement for all sin and death. Jesus modeled a key step, baptism, in the life of every believer.

Mar 16, 2006 · The Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:13-17) With Matthew 3 we have the record of the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry with His baptism.
