***********************************Living Water********************************* Why is it in so many places throughout the Bible, faith and belief is emphasized more than anything? Mainly because actions are so easy to do, and are done in the synagogs to impress others, or to outwardly appear righteous. The hardest thing the Bible portrays is to hold fast to ones faith and belief in God. Israel showed us this, and to us it appeared as though they were on a roller-coaster ride. Believe, and then lack of belief never was far behind. Christ is the foundation of salvation, and ones determined heart felt belief and faith In Him being raised from death by God who has power over death, is the key to the Kingdom. This is where actions come into play, because it is not enough to hold the key. Water baptism is an outward act of submission to God whom cleansed the World of sin by water before. Only this time the choice (that was not given before to the world) is in our hands to except or reject His offer. But the real work of salvation is already taking place in the heart of the one that has truly submitted, and this has begun by the outward pouring of the living water Jesus was referring to in John 3. For anyone to say your salvation is found in an act you do, is not teaching the doctrine given to the Apostles. This does not mean only believe either, but to follow the path laid out by the Apostles. Yes satan and his minions believe and tremble, but that is where it stops with them. But with us it continues through the actions of obedience. So drink-up that living water, and always question one that teaches you by the words I think, or even Perhaps. They should stand bold on the Word of Truth, and say It says this, or Gods Word is telling us this. Praise God in the name of Jesus always....and Know there is but One God that is not limited to the human term of person, and did lessen Himself to come in person to make a way for you. He is Lord, He is Spirit, He is GOD!!!
