We are approaching the end of our study on the words of Christ and I realize that we never really talked about the biblical concept of the flesh. The Bible teaches that within the immaterial part of man, we find the soul, the spirit, the heart, the conscience, the mind, the will, and … the flesh. The flesh, sarx in Greek, is a complex word, with multiple facets. In this lesson, we will study it from the ethical point of view. We wi...

When someone important to us departs, we pay special attention to the last things he or she said. These words become very precious because we know that we will not see that person anymore. Here are the last words of Jesus to his disciples in the gospel of Matthew. Matthew 28:18-20. Matthew 28:18. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all na...

Today, I would like to begin a series of lessons on the meaning of baptism. I am often distressed to see that there are Christians who have been baptized without really knowing what it is that they were doing.

We will continue today our study of the meaning of baptism. We saw the last time that baptism is a sacrament of union. Baptism is the symbol of the union that takes place between the believer and Christ. In our lesson today, I will show you another aspect of baptism. And it is that baptism is a pledge to God. It is a commitment to follow God.

In our last lesson, we saw that baptism is a pledge, a pledge to God by which you make Him King of your life. You are saying to God, that by His grace, you are going to remain faithful to Him, faithful unto death. This is the exhortation that we find in Revelation 2:10 where Jesus says, …be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life.

Today, I would like us to look at another aspect of the meaning of baptism. We have seen in this series on baptism that baptism is a union, union with the Lord Jesus. In this union with Christ, we identify ourselves to Him in His death on the cross. But it doesn’t stop there. This union applies also to His resurrection. Colossians 2:12 says, and you were buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through fai...

The topic of baptism is closely linked with the question of the Holy Spirit. Just a superficial reading of the NT gives us already the impression that there seems to be something between ‘baptism’ and the ‘Holy Spirit.’
