…Yeshua answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”…

John 3:3

…Yeshua replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit…

John 3:5

As God resurrected Yeshua from the dead and exalted him to be seated at His right hand, He demonstrated, that the sin, what was keeping his people away from His presence had been taken away. It has completely been destroyed on the cross and was put away by the sacrifice of The Holy Blood of Yeshua. And now God offers to all people everywhere, repentance and reconciliation to Himself. The last Adam (The meaning of the name Adam equals to Human being or a Man) as Yeshua is referred to in the New Covenant (Testament), being humble and obedient, even obedient unto death, has overcome sin and destroyed the curse over all who was born and who will ever be born from the disobedient first Adam.

Yeshua as the last Adam (As the last Man to be created in this World), after He rose from the dead, He presented His Blood to the Most Holy Place in Heaven and has achieved to become Righteous, Holy and Blameless  before God The Father. Yeshuas resurrection is the ultimate evidence that his sacrifice was sufficient to God and that God can now once and for all time take away the sin of the world. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Yeshua to enter into heaven as a Man. Then if once a human being has been brought under the dominion of sin and his nature became sinful, it is impossible for him to enter into the presence of God, who is Holy. Blood sacrifice of a Holy, Blameless and immortal Person is the only substitute in this case that can atone for the sin of a sinful, guilty and mortal man. That is why Yeshua said: I AM The The Way and The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 (Emphasis added). The Way because His Blood is The Only Atonement for sin which is accepted by God! The Truth because there was no sin in His Blood! The LIfe because He was Immortal and truly as Man created in the image of the eternal God!

Now that the sin of the world has been taken away by Yeshua’s sacrifice, God The Father, Creator of all the living, offers now to all Human beings to be reconciled to Himself.

Therefore, whosoever believes in his heart that Yeshua is The Son Of God and that He died, and was buried and rose again on the third day, and he confesses with his mouth that Yeshua is his Lord and Saviour, he will be born again and will become the righteousness of God in the Anointed Yeshua. 

This kind of faith confession in Yeshua’s finished work on the cross transforms the believer into a new creation in the spiritual realm. That person, at that very moment gets born of Gods Spirit and becomes a true child of God.

Now he is ready to receive the Gift Of The Holy Spirit and start communicating with The Father in The Heavenly language as The Spirit gives him the utterance. At the time of Apostle Peter people were first baptized in water as a sign of their confession of faith in Yeshua and then they would receive the infilling with The Holy Spirit. After Apostle Peter met with the household of Cornelius who were Romans, all were first filled with The Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues and then they all were baptized in water. This story shows that the sequence is not the important part but the Confession of Faith in Yeshua as the anointed sacrifice for one’s sin is going to lead a person to a Spirit-filled life!

Yeshua is the only way to God the Creator of all the living! He is the only true sacrifice for the sin of the world and He is the only ONE who will resurrect, transform and give Eternal Life to all the bodies of those who believe in Him!

Now, as Yeshua already took your place and died for your sin, you are blessed, set free from the bondage of sin, and privileged today to take His place at the right hand of God and start living a life of a true son of God to Glory of your Heavenly Father!

Start now walking in the victory of Yeshua our Brother and have the awareness of the true son of God!

The word Baptism in Greek baptízō means to immerse, to submerge, to dive under, literally to “dip under”. Diving under the surface of the water symbolises that you are no longer present in this world but present in the water that is being one in the death of the Yeshua. It literally means that you have died to the seen world. Water baptism is described by the Apostle Paul as baptism into Yeshua’s  death. (Romans 6:4 Emphasis added)

As Yeshua died on the cross for the sin of the world, also you as you get baptized in the water to The Name of Yeshua for the forgiveness of your sin, you declare openly that you have died with Yeshua to the sin! It pleases our Heavenly Father to see us put our old man (the rebellious and disobedient nature, which the Humanity has inherited from the enemy, as a result of the failure of the first Adam) to death and become One with His Son in his death. Then whoever died to sin is no longer subject to sin!

And as Yeshua was raised from the dead, you are rising (being born) out of the water and becoming a New Creation of God in the Anointed Yeshua. Now you are Righteous, Blameless and Sinless in the eyes of your Heavenly Father (Please study: Hebrews 8:12; 10:17) and your body has received the eternal life of The Son Of God, Yeshua the Anointed. Now you have been created in the likeness of The Son Of God, whose body will rise from the dead if it would have fallen asleep before the rapture of the saved or be transformed into an immortal body at the time of the rapture of Yeshua’s Bride!
(Please study: 1 Corinthians 15:52 

Water also symbolizes the graveyard of the old fallen nature of the man who fell from the Presence of God and became sinful and disobedient to God. Immersing into the water to The Name Of Yeshua cuts you off of the dominion of sin and its power. Water Baptism literally means that you who took the immersion into the water, that you also died once and for all time to your old self and it does not exist any longer, there is no memory of it left at all!

Yeshua once said: “If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:26 Emphasis added. Frankly speaking, Yeshua was saying, if a man is not ready to deny (be free of their opinion) his Family and Friends and his own self as well, he cannot follow Him. The Water Baptism is a type of self-denial by it you express that you are no longer ready to live your life to your old self and its priorities.

As the people of God, the people of Israel (who in the Old Covenant (Testament) symbolised all the nations of the world) were leaving Egypt to go to the promised land, Egyptians followed them even into the red sea. But after the last Israelite was out of the red sea, waters rushed back and covered all the armies of the Egyptians and they all drowned. This story tells exactly what is taking place at the time of the water baptism, namely that the sinful nature of man with its desires gets drowned, it gets to its definite end!

This is exactly what our Father in Heaven desires for each one of us, namely to get rid of our old sinful nature, to die to our old self and rise up from the water with the Holy Nature of His Son Yeshua, who once risen from the dead never dies!

It is by the Water that God destroys the power of sin and death over the body of the believer. As we have seen above, Egyptians followed Israelites into the waters of the red sea, but it was definitely their last time trying to get hold of Gods people.
