Jhn 14:4 And whither I go, ye know the way.

            
 James 1     Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed  .  Jesus said be yourself's  holy as your father is holy .          1Pe 1:15 ASV - but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
1Pe 1:16 ASV - because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.    Holy   Greek  hagios
     This sainthood is not an attainment, it is a state into which God in grace calls men; yet believers are called to sanctify themselves (consistently with their calling, 2Ti 1:9), cleansing themselves from all defilement, forsaking sin, living a "holy" manner of life, 1Pe 1:15; 2Pe 3:11, and experiencing fellowship with God in His holiness. The saints are thus figuratively spoken of as "a holy temple," 1Cr 3:17 (a local church); Eph 2:21 (the whole Church), cp. Eph 5:27; "a holy priesthood," 1Pe 2:5; "a holy nation," 1Pe 2:9.    "It is evident that hagios and its kindred words... express something more and higher than hieros, sacred, outwardly associated with God;... something more than semnos, worthy, honorable; something more than hagnos, pure, free from defilement. Hagios is... more comprehensive... It is characteristically godlikness

Please remember the gift given to all people that give their life's to Jesus and willingly surrender to his will.     Jesus just before he ascended said  that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem Ye are witnesses of these things .  They had lived this very life walking with Jesus and now they must preach the gospel to all people. They witnessed the power of Christ and they also   had manifested that power in themselves . This is the gift Jesus has given to all man kind even today he is still giving the gift of the Spirit to those that ask . Luke 24:49    And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.       Clothe:   Greek: enduo
(Eng., "endue"), signifies "to enter into, get into," as into clothes, "to put on," e.g., Mar 1:6; Luk 8:27 (in the best mss.); 24:49 (AV, "endued"); 2Cr 5:3; Rev 1:13; 19:14.     Rom 13:14 ASV - But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.  
Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit.   Here is the power to walk in holiness to escape the deeds of our flesh , Walk in the spirit and ye shall not do the deeds of the flesh  .     Rom 8:13 ASV - for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.    Everything in your life is dependent upon your surrender to your cross ,  to our need every moment of his direction and wisdom . And by his spirit can we obtain that holy living .  It is impossible to live Godly in our flesh , Jesus said you shall be clothed with power from on high .  This old man must die and the new man Christ in you the hope of Glory must grow .     2Pe 1:3 ASV - seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;    Jesus came to show us the father he was the very image of his father .
Unlike the church today that preach a watered down version of the gospel , that will not preach repenteance from sin .   And that the gift of the spirit is still given today it is the only way unto this holy life . That is why we see so much sin in the church today perverting the word of God to suit the lust of their flesh .  John said that the one coming after me will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with Fire  .     Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:     The spirit of God is the power  to over come and the fire is the working of Gods spirit in you to burn away all the things in us that is not consistent with holy living .     Jesus says that the flesh profits nothing   Jhn 6:63 ASV - It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.    Adam gave us the curse of sin and being born of him we are united with him in his flesh . Therefore all have sinned and fell short of Gods glory .  Col 1:18 ASV - And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.  Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,   This is the gospel of God to the whole world and Jesus preached his fathers gospel to us. 
Rev 1:5 ASV - and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;
The words being Born Again !  how are we born again ?  What does it mean to be born again .   Born of the water and of the spirit ,    the water is the word of God in its entirety and the Spirit is the power to walk in his word . It is the spirit of Christ Jesus coming into us to be our helper .        Isa 9:6 ASV - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.      Isa 9:7 ASV - Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.    Col 1:26 ASV - even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Mat 19:28 ASV - And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Tit 3:5 ASV - not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,    Regeneration  Regeneration:  Greek: palingenesia
"new birth" (palin, "again," genesis, "birth"), is used of "spiritual regeneration," Tts 3:5, involving the communication of a new life, the two operating powers to produce which are "the word of truth," Jam 1:18; 1Pe 1:23, and the Holy Spirit, Jhn 3:5, 6; the loutron, "the laver, the washing," is explained in Eph 5:26, "having cleansed it by the washing (loutron) of water with the word."
Jesus spoke of the words saying many are called but few are chosen ,  called being invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb ,   and chosen being elected because of their holy living and the word elected is also being called saints of God .    This is something very obtainable through holy living .   The deeds of our flesh will condemn us but if we walk by his spirit we shall obtain that regeneration life.    Jesus said some men will try to come up another way ,      Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.   What is he saying here ?   did he not tell us of a cross to bear and he came to show us the way unto salvation . The way the truth and the life .  And he is saying here the only way unto Gods kingdom is through this true gospel.  We cannot save this worldly life this flesh , our carnal man must die our altar is to fall on our cross Jesus prepaired for us .   Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 ASV - He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.   The children in the wilderness had to cross over the Jordan river just as we have our Jordan to cross . Being born of the water is to be , by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost . The word of God and the power of his spirit to walk in his commandants his word of truth.   The book of Acts 2 Peter says it plainly you must repent being sorry for your sins without repenteance people cannot go any further with God and his commandants .  For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.  And than comes our cross unto salvation for us ,  What is water baptism and why water baptism . This not some formal act to join the church , its not some small  thing we can except or not .   Must a man be baptised to enter into the kingdom of God .  If we die not to our sins we cannot be redeemed from the curse of Adam .  Baptisim is not some  symbolism we perform to feel holy , or it might be the part of a church order to join.  But yet it is just symbolism it has no power to regenerate our sinful life .      Rom 6:3 ASV - Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
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.
Rom 6:5 ASV - For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;
Rom 6:6 ASV - knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
Rom 6:7 ASV - for he that hath died is justified from sin.        We have been saved by the power of his cross , we are not sinners save by grace . Jesus through our obedience to his word and water baptisim has delivered us set us from from the Law of sin and death . We have the power over sin through his blood . If we sin willfully after we have received this precious truth we have no more sacrifice for that sin .
Heb 10:14 ASV - For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Heb 10:16 ASV - This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; then saith he,
Heb 10:17 ASV - And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 10:18 ASV - Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Heb 10:22 ASV - let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,
Heb 10:23 ASV - let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:
Heb 10:26 ASV - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,               Heb 10:29 ASV - of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?     Despite  Greek: enubrizo Despite, Despiteful, Despitefully
"to treat insultingly, with contumely" (en, intensive, hubrizo, "to insult;" some connect it with huper, "above, over," Lat. super, which suggests the insulting disdain of one who considers himself superior), is translated "hath done despite" in Hbr 10:29.
This is Gods word and it is to bring about holy living and separation of his people from this worldly life to that regenerate life of Christ.      Rom 6:1 ASV - What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 ASV - God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
Water baptisim is your confession of your need for salvation and that life Jesus gives.     Is water baptisim essential  unto salvation , Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
Jhn 14:3 ASV - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jhn 14:4 ASV - And whither I go, ye know the way.
Jhn 14:5 ASV - Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

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;
1Pe 3:22 ASV - who is one the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
  Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 
Luk 3:17 ASV - whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Rom 8:26 ASV - And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;
Rom 8:27 ASV - and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Rom 8:28 ASV - And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.
Rom 8:29 ASV - For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
 Jesus said in  Mar 10:27 ASV - Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.   Not by works of righteousness we have done but according to his mercy he has saved us we are saved by his grace and he has given us the gift of Faith .  Everything in our lifes depends upon Gods grace his mercy.  Jesus came not only to give us life but a life more abundant .   You must be born again Nicodemus .        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!
Jhn 3:6 ASV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
