God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for 7 October 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our and Savior Jesus Christ for 7 October 2011"

Today's Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 12:13,14 "For by one Spirit we were baptisted into one body, whether Jew or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and all have been made to drink into one Spirit.  For in fact the body is not one member but many." 

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is an act whereby the individual believer becomes united with Christ. The baptism of the Spirit is the effect of of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ and that believer is united with Christ by this baptism. 

Initially, the baptism of the Holy Spirit occured on the Day of Pentecost when the new church was baptized in the Spirit (Acts 2:2).  Personally a Christian is baptized in the Spirit at the moment of his or her conversion (verse 13).  As the believer submits to water baptism, he or she testifies of the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:4-6).

Believers are part of the whole body infused by the one God.  All believers are baptized into the body of Christ, whether they are Jew or Greeks, slaves or free.  This expression of Paul echoes his teachings in the book of Galatains concerning equal access by faith into the promise of Abraham (Galatains 3:26-29).  The Spirit not only surrounds us, He also dwells within us (Praise God).

Today's Hymn: "Redeemed How I Love To Proclaim It"

Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child and forever I am
Redeemed, Redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed, Redeemed, His child and forever I am

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how wonderful is as Christians that the moment we accept Jesus Christ into our lives we are baptised with the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.  Thank you Father for loving us so much that You send Your Son to live among us and and then to die for our many sins.  Thank You Jesus for the Holy Spirit that you send to us when when took your into our hearts and lives.  Thank you Holy Spirit for the indwelling power that we have through You and thank you for you constant leading, teaching and protection.
                                                                                                                                                  Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Though people are gifted differently by God, God and His work are unified."
