Born Again by Water and Spirit

We Must Be Born Again Of Water And The Spirit

God when He created the heavens and the earth in the beginning, also created the eternal worlds. Heaven and hell. He created mankind in His own image, but, since the first man, Adam, sinned before God, all people have to die once. "27 And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment" Hebrew 9:27

The death of our flesh is the pass away to eternal life. Those who are without sin shall enter the eternal world of Heaven and everlastingly enjoy being the children of God, while sinners will be thrown into "the lake of fire and brimestone... and be tormented day and night for eternity. Revelation 20:10

Therefore, all of mankind must be born again. We have to be born again through our faith, be redeemed from all our sins and become righteous. Only then can we enter the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible says, "unless a man is born of water and [[a]even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God." John 3:5. To be born again of water and the Spirit is the only way we can enter God's Kingdom.

What, then, is this "water" and "the Spirit" that allows us to be born again? The "water" in the Bible refers to "the baptism of Jesus" 1 John 5:6 6 This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [[a]His baptism and His death], Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—not by (in) the water only, but by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy] Spirit Who bears witness, because the [Holy] Spirit is the Truth.

why was Jesus, who is God, baptized by John the Baptist? was it to show His humility? Was it to proclaim Himself the Messiah? No, it wasn't!

When Jesus was baptized by John the baptist by means of "the laying on of hands." Leviticus 16:21 (21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat and confess over him all the iniquities of the Israelites and all their transgressions, all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat [the sin-bearer], and send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man [a]who is timely (ready, fit).)

It was "one Man's righteous acts" which took away all the sins of human kind.

Romans 5:18 18 Well then, as one man’s trespass [one man’s false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man’s act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men.

In the Old Testament, God gave Israel the merciful law of redemption. This was so that on the Day of atonement, all the sins of Israel for that year could be expiated through the High Priest, Aaron, by laying his hands on the head of the "scapegoat" and passing all the sins onto the scapegoat.

These were the words of revelation, which foretold the sacrifice of eternal atonement. It revealed the truth that all the sins of humanity would be passed onto Jesus all at once, Who came in the flesh of a man, according to the will of the Father. He baptized by John the baptist who was the descendant of Aaron and the representative of all humankind.

When jesus was baptized, He said to John, 15“Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”. Here, "for thus" means "by the laying on of hands," Matthew 3:15 in order to pass all the sins of the world onto Jesus, so that all righteousness might be fullfilled for all of us. The word all righteousness might be fullfilled for all of us. The word "righteousness" means "The fairest state" of being righteous or fitting.

Jesus had fulfilled all righteousness for all people through His baptism in a just and fitting manner. Jesus took on all the sins of people through his baptism, the next day, John the Baptist testified 29 “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

With all the sins of humankind on His shoulders, Jesus walked towards the cross. He vicariously took the judgement for all the sins He had taken on Himself through His baptism. He died on the cross, saying "It is finished" John 19:30. He took all our sins onto Himself and received the complete judgement for them in our place
