1Cr 10:2 ASV - and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; The cloud being the Spirit of God and the sea being the baptizem of water according to the gospel of the apostles .
Rom 6:3 ASV - Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Jhn 12:24 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
Here Jesus is speaking of himself but I see great truth here , he being the seed, and he died and he was buried into the earth, but he rose to newness of life . The word says he was the sower of the seed and the seed Jesus sowed is the word of God his father .
Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. Now we are the earthy people made of the dust of the earth . Born of a corruptible nature Adams nature , and we being his offspring have his nature . But Jesus came to set the captives free free from what ! Our fathers nature . Jesus said you must be born again to see the kingdom of
1Co 15:20 ASV - But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
1Co 15:21 ASV - For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 ASV - For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:44 ASV - it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1Co 15:47 ASV - The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
1Co 15:53 ASV - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1Co 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
The word of God is that power to put to death our old man , the seed of the word of God has the power to save our souls . We are the earth or the good ground the seed falls into and we die to self and become born again of a new nature the old man is passed away and all things become new.
Jesus was the son of man on the earth one man, he took the keys of hell and death and gave that right of eternal life to whom ever believed . And the fruit of his seed is every one that would come to believe and have faith is his word . Jesus went from a single man to a corporate body of believers the body of Christ. Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
Jhn 12:25 ASV - He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Rom 6:4 ASV - We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Jhn 3:5 ASV - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! The only way for one to be born again is you must die to self, the carnal man must die. Putting to death the deeds of the flesh.
1Pe 3:20 ASV - that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
1Pe 3:21 ASV - which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters . As a child I have heard of this story , and now that the word of God has come into my heart I know the meaning of the fountain of youth. There is a fountain of youth but I am not speaking of the flesh of man living forever, that is what the story is about man in his own wisdom living for ever .
1Cr 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Jhn 3:13 ASV - And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.
The only ones who shall meet him in the air in that day is those that have the very nature and character of Christ Jesus he died in his flesh but rose again to newness of life and every one that comes after him will manifest his life in them. That is why the word says God has call you to be sons of God.
1Jo 3:1 ASV - Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested ( in us this is the mirror) , we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
2Cr 3:18 ASV - But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
1Jo 3:3 ASV - And every one that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Rev 21:6 ASV - And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
The water is the life giving truth of Gods word. Remember the tower of babel, the premise here is always the same with natural man. He wants to believe there is another way into heaven, even though God that made that heaven he resides there and the earth these men live on is his foot stool. Even today men say there are many roads unto God. I see where Jesus said I am the door,
Jhn 10:9 ASV - I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
The only way to God is through Christ, and men are still looking for the fountain of there youth, can you see in this they are trying to save their flesh their life on this earth. The soul of man will live for ever not his flesh, and the question is where will his soul live in the end of all things. Jhn 6:65 ASV - And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father. Luk 17:33 ASV - Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Mat 16:26 ASV - For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? Mat 10:39 ASV - He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. So what I am saying is there is no other way into heaven or into the kingdom of God than to follow Christ , he is the Way Truth and The life . The father said Mat 17:5 ASV - While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. For God was in Christ reconciling the world 2Cr 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Reconcile and Reconciliation here has a two fold meaning Greek: katallasso
Reconcile, Reconciliation: properly denotes "to change, exchange" (especially of money); hence, of persons, "to change from enmity to friendship, to reconcile." With regard to the relationship between God and man, the use of this and connected words shows that primarily "reconciliation" is what God accomplishes, exercising His grace towards sinful man on the ground of the death of Christ in propitiatory sacrifice under the judgment due to sin, 2Cr 5:19, where both the verb and the noun are used (cp. No. 2, in Col 1:21). By reason of this men in their sinful condition and alienation from God are invited to be "reconciled" to Him; that is to say, to change their attitude, and accept the provision God had made, whereby their sins can be remitted and they themselves be justified in His sight in Christ.
Greek: katallage: Atonement, translated "atonement" in the AV of Rom 5:11, signifies, not "atonement," but "reconciliation," as in the RV. See also Rom 11:15; 2Cr 5:18, 19. So with the corresponding verb katallasso, See under RECONCILE. "Atonement" (the explanation of this English word as being "at-one-ment" is entirely fanciful) is frequently found in the OT. See, for instance, Leviticus, chapters 16 and 17. The corresponding NT words are hilasmos, "propitiation," 1Jo 2:2; 4:10, and hilasterion, Rom 3:25; Hbr 9:5, "mercy-seat," the covering of the ark of the covenant. These describe the means (in and through the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His death on the Cross by the shedding of His blood in His vicarious sacrifice for sin) by which God shows mercy to sinners. John 6:53-69 Jesus has the words of life.
Jhn 6:67 ASV - Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?
Jhn 6:68 ASV - Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Righteousness comes at a cost, the cost is your life in the flesh. 2Pe 1:21 ASV - For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
So men moved by Gods Spirit wrote this precious word. As God gave the unction they were inspired by God to write his word. It is very important to you realize as you read this that God has sent this word to you. And he sent his spirit unto you to show you his mercy and grace. The word says in that day EVERY man will stand at the judgement seat of Christ.
2Cr 5:10 ASV - For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
So we that believe and obey his word are a corporate body of Christ and than we are an individual in Christ . Every man will answer to God in that day. What I am leading up to is that , this word is sent to each man to believe it and to obey it and to build his own house unto God.
Rom 1:17 ASV - For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.
1Cr 10:1 ASV - For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Cr 10:2 ASV - and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Cr 10:3 ASV - and did all eat the same spiritual food;
1Cr 10:4 ASV - and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.
Num 20:8 ASV- Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink.
The rock is Christ the rock the builders rejected , and the water is the word of God.
Eph 5:25 ASV - Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
Eph 5:26 ASV - that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
Eph 5:27 ASV - that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Jhn 7:38 ASV - He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
Jhn 7:39 ASV - But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Yes there is a fountain and it is Christ in you the hope of Glory.
