Discuss Matthew 3 Page 17

Read John 14:9. If you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father, Jesus told Phillip. Jesus lived the Father 's will. Verse 16 of 1Timothy 3 is so beautiful and says so much. I think of the passage of scripture in Matthew 3:15-17 when I read that.

Really good

Many are seeking the gifts of the spirit instead of the fruits of it. The gifts and calling are without repentance. The spirit comes in after our repentance and baptism in Jesus name, and not only when we speak in unknown tongues. Jesus is our high priest and example of this, and the spirit descend on Him after His baptism as it will you. Read Matthew 3:12-16: Romans 6:3-5 Galatians 3:27. Peace and prosperity to all who love God.

Part 3 of 3 You have to also remember that the Bible is written to the truly saved people, therefore we are to maintain good works. Titus 3 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men .

Part 2 of 3 However, if you are talking about did we do anything to merit salvation? The answer is no we did not because our own self righteousness will not get us into heaven, Titus 3 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost This is why you need to do more than just believe and live right. The devils believe and tremble, James 2 19. We have to take it a step further and follow Acts 2 38. Our own righteousness is as a filthy rag, Isaiah 64 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away .

Part 1 of 3 Hello Marc Jesus did do something pretty remarkable before God made that statement. This statement can be interpreted in twofold. Luke 2 40 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom and the grace of God was upon him ". Jesus, at the age of twelve, held conversations with the doctors in the temple for three days. They were astonished with his questions and answers. The twofold answer is that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. If I can say it like this, so not only was he pleased with what he had done thus far but he was pleased to be dwelling in him. In Colossians 1 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell Colossians 2 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily .

And interestingly, at the time God spoke, Jesus had accomplished no miracles or did anything that would warrant that expression from God, EXCEPT that He was well pleased with Him BECAUSE He was His Son... NOT because of His works, but purely based on God 's love for Him. And that is where we, as believers need to trust that God is well pleased with us, not because of what we do, but by who we are sons and daughters of the Living God !

I think God for his love and his word that I may be used by him

Maybe Grace is the wife Jesus is returning for? When paradise is being restored?

thank you Father for JESUS and the HOLY GHOST

If you will notice God said that Jesus was His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased God was and is not proud of His Son Jesus and neither will He be proud of us His children No where in his word does He talk about being proud of anything because pride is not of God Pride and being proud in and or about anything will always go before a fall !!!God always talks about what pleases Him. So should I be in my every day walk of life. I told my son that I would not be proud of him but that I would be pleased with the accomplishments he makes in his life. He thought I was a fruitcake at first but then he realized and accepted that I would be pleased with him !!!!! You take a bold stand on what God has revealed to you in His word long enough and others will follow along even though they may not know and understand !!! Isn 't God GOOOOOOOD !!!!

I learnt dat we shud repent and forsake all our sins and come to God now dat he can be found,for tomorrow maybe too late,repentance is now.There is also need to spread God 's word to all people in ur area,city,villages,communities etc.Baptism is also important,therefore,we shud repent,be baptised and preach God 's word to all people.

Well,as for me,I understood this verse very well.It is talking about howJohn the Baptist went about preaching the gospel to all nations by telling them to repent and be baptised.He baptised them and also baptised Jesus Christ.

The end of this chapter teaches us that Jesus is seperate from the Father and the Holy Spirit. All three are mentioned as distinct individuals. How can he be his own father? He prayed for his disciples to "be one, as he and his father are one " obviously he didn 't mean for the disciples to become one person. All three are Gods.

John the Baptist was talking about the Jewish people. God called them to spread Jis kingdom, but they didnt. So in Jesus God calls people from all nations who will be faithful. Israel is the chopped down tree. He says the axe is aready laid to the roots.

I believe that the son of God was the begaining of the truth of his father.now the true gospel begains!.

In response to Alyson 's comment, how do we know that this is the lord 's word? How can we be so sure?

thank you LORD!!

I am so thankful that i am memorizing this chapter even all of Matthew is amazing but right now i am on Matthew 3. i am very thankful to have the LORD 'S WORD!!!

I think it is amazing what the LORD can do!!!!

I love this verse it is my favorite!!!

Jesus was God. the father, son, and holy ghost. So he had the holy ghost. He was born the son of God.Jesus and God is one. When he was here on earth he told man you must be born again with water and spirit. Jesus baptize us with the holy ghost. Power..

The reason jesus had to be baptized by john was to fulfill the whole law interesting note John the baptist was born with Holy spirit Jesus Christ was not.

In the comment above it says The acknowledgment of sin, repentance and baptism are prescribed as conditions of pardon. I do not see where we have to be baptised in water to be saved. Baptised into the holy spirit I see but not water. Is there something I am missing?

The Us Is The God Head That Was Present At Jesus Baptism.They Were Revealing The Way They Were Going To Fulfill Righteousness Through The Death,Burial And Resurrection of Jesus Christ.John 's Baptism Was Of Repentance.Jesus Had No Sin To Repent Of And John 's Baptism Made Nobody Righteous.The God Head Was Revealing The Way Righteouness Would Be Fulfilled By Jesus Shed Blood And Death On The Cross And Resurrection In Whom All Who Believe Are Made Righteous.The God Head Was Present At Another Important Event The Creation Of Man.

This particular chapter starts our awareness of the difference between christians in name only and spiritual christian... as the difference between the temple christians and the spiritally hungry population of the poor.

In Matthew 3 2 in Matthew 3 6 the people came to John confessing their sins and I believe that is what the Pharisees and the Sadducees didn 't do. They didn 't feel they were sinners in need of a Savior. In St. Mark 1 4 John preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins and when you repent or change your mind from what you thought you had to do for your salvation and simply believe you are immediately saved. I am not going to Heaven because I attend church 3 times a week, give money to the church, serve the Lord faithfully or have been water baptized. That has nothing to do with me going to Heaven. I am going to Heaven because I prayed a simple prayer to God confessing I am a sinner and I am putting my complete faith in the Blood of Jesus to forgive me of all my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I called upon Jesus to save me completely Romans 10 9,10,13. In Acts 19 4 Paul tells us what John preached telling the people that they should believe on Jesus to be saved. Jesus is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world according to John the Baptist in John 1 29. When you read Matthew 26 28, Luke 24 47, Romans 3 25, Acts 4 12, Acts 10 43 I John 1 7, 2 2, 5 13 and Revelation 1 5 you clearly understand remission or forgiveness of sins comes through the Blood of Jesus alone to receive salvation. Hebrews 9 22 tells us without shedding of blood there is no remission meaning forgiveness of sins from the Garden of Eden through the Book of Revelation. The song writer had it right "What can wash away my sin, nothing but the Blood of Jesus!!! "

It is written in in matthew 3 11 " I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire " He already came,so is it necessary to take a water baptism?
