IT BELIEVES AND CAN BE BAPTIZED…

Dear Brothers and Sisters!

It’s special. But it seems to me that only today I have fully realised the momentum of Jesus ‘ statement in the conclusion of the Markovi Gospel in the context of the entire message of the Bible. The statement reads as follows: “Whoever believes and can be baptized will be saved; But who does not believe will be sentenced. ” (Mk 16.16). A statement that is notoric known. But only today I finally realized what up beats in my eyes: that the salvation is needed by BAPTISM and BELIEF. Not only faith itself. Baptism is also needed. And this raises the legitimate question: what then means: to be baptized? Let’s go for it but nicely and okay:

• First there is FAITH. Faith is important because, as the Bible says, “6 without faith, it is impossible to enjoy God.” (Hebr 11.6). And Jesus says, “Whoever does not believe will be sentenced.” (Mk 16.16). Faith is the gateway to God’s action, Jesus finally still emphasizes the words of the type “Thy faith has healed you” (Mt 9.22) Whether “everything is possible to the person who believes.” (Mk 9.23).

But faith also has its limits. Jesus, in the conclusion of the Markovi Gospel, describes the impressive characters accompanying the real, correct faith: “Those who believe will accompany these signs: In my name will expel evil spirits, they will speak new languages, 18 snakes will be taken into the hands and if something Death will not harm them; On the sick will be inserting hands and those to heal. ” (Mk 16, 17n). These signs but they are not salvation! Beware of it! They’re a sign of faith, not a sign of salvation! Faith is the gateway to salvation – and it’s indispensable – but not the salvation itself! Only in this context is it possible to understand the words that Jesus in the Margo of these expressions of faith speaks in another place: “22 Many of me in the day say,” Lord, Lord, whether we are not prophesies in your name? Did we not, in your name, bad spirits and we did not have a lot of miracles in thy name? ” 23 then I will declare them: I never knew you; Leave away from me what you’re committing unrighteousness! ” (Mt 7, 22n). Or Pavlove’s words: “If I had such a strong belief that I would be rushed to carry, and love would not have, nothing would have been.” (1 Cor 13.2). And into the thirdly of the words of Jacob the apostle who says, “I devils believe, and shaking!” (Jak 2.19). It’s exactly the same thing we see on the trenches around Jesus: the faith of the people who approached Jesus was different, causing various “effects” – from healing through the propagation of bread, fish and wine to the chalk of the dead – but by far not meant that all these “believers” Immediately and automatically followed Jesus and accepted the salvation in the sense of the word of Jesus: “26 If someone serves me, let me follow! And where I am, there will also be my servant. Who will serve me, that tribute to the father. ” (Jn. 12.26). Unfortunately, faith does not mean the automatic follow-up of Jesus. Can cause great things, yes, Real wonders and miracles, but may not lead to follow up and to salvation! The evangelical principle of “salvation of clear faith” can be

Circumstances be true, but only if this belief leads to the step of the “baptism”. In itself the faith of salvation is not enough and does not even suffice! • Therefore, Jesus says that we must add one more “component” to the Faith: BAPTISM. But what is baptism?

If we give a party the idea that the sacramental casting of water on our head a couple of days after birth is the security of baptism is equipped and thus everything is dry, if so we give a party such a formalist view of the matter, then we need to look for a real answer. And here he can show us Jesus himself: Jesus was baptized twice. Yes, you hear well: twice! The first time it was notorious for Jans baptism. He received him from John the Baptist in the waters of Jordan and then descended the spirit of God. It was not but his last baptism. About that kind of baptism Jesus says: “49 fire I came to throw on the ground; And what I want? Just to have already flared! 50 But the baptism I have to be baptized and how I am closely until it happens! ” (Lk. 12, 49n). There is a general consensus that Jesus has understood his death on the cross by this second baptism. Jesus ‘ death on the cross was a requirement of the love of Jesus. Jesus himself says, “13 Nik has no greater love than the one who puts his life for his friends.” (Jn. 15.13). It confirms from another party John the apostle when he says, “16 What is love, we knew that he had laid us for his life.” (1 Jn 3.16). Love simply means you’re ready to lay your life for someone. Nothing more and nothing less…

This brings to an interesting equation:

BAPTISM = LOVE = LAY LIFE FOR THE BELOVED. There is a difference between John and the Christian baptism. The Baptism of Judas was the act of repentance: we have sinned, but we leave sin and we return back, to life under the law of God the supreme. The Baptism of Jesus is something much more. It is a marriage contract between the groom and his chosen bride – the faithful family. It is a treaty of love and follow up. Very much closed in the blood of Jesus Christ, poured out of love for us on the cross. “28 This is my blood of a new covenant that pours for all the remission of sins.” (Mt 26.28), says Jesus. Our sins are forgiven because God instead of legitimate anger and punishment goes back to the answer of love. Instead of death and damnation he himself of love for us dies on the cross. Being baptized then means to join this covenant of love and donation to. This means choosing to follow Jesus. The Bible about Christians says “Follow the lamb, wherever it goes.” (Rev. 14.4). There is a difference between the crowds whose faith was enough for miracles, healing and powerful signs, but it was not enough for salvation – and among the disciples, whose attitude is summarised by Peter, when he notes: “We have left everything and we drove behind you.” (Mt

19.27). Logically, the intensity of this follow-up must be the same as in Jesus. Thus, if Jesus loves to the extreme, to death, then the entry into this relationship is about the same: Loving Jesus (and his brothers and sisters, his family believers) as well as to the great lengths, to death! That is why Jesus says, “Who would want to save life, lose him, but who will lose his life for me and for the gospel, save him.” (Mk 8.35). Likewise, John complements the challenge of the love of Jesus: “We also have a duty to give life to brethren.” (1 Jn. 3, 16b). It also connects Jesus when he says, “12 This is my commandtion: to love each other as I am loving you. 13 Nobody has more love than the one who puts his life for his friends. ” (Jn. 15, 12n). The baptism is thus the entrance to the mutual love between man and God, in which God and man love one another until the extreme, God and man are donated to each other completely, up to the bottom, and God and the Man of Love lay life one after another. Indeed, we are actually baptized only when the external ceremony of the conclusion of this contract of extreme gift of love is also linked with the internal decision to accept this agreement for the essence and meaning of life. This is already too many for only the verification hosts. Have they come to Jesus to serve, help, advise – but sacrifice? This only proved loving disciples when Jesus followed the words, “Let us and we die with him.” (Jn. 11.16). This link of baptism and sacrifice of Love also suggests Paul, when he says, “3 or do you know that all we were baptized in Christ Jesus, in his death, we were baptized? 4 The baptism was so, with him being buried in death, so that, as Christ was resurrected from the dead of the father’s glory, we also lived a new life. 5. If we grew up with it and became similar in death, then we will be alike in the resurrection. ” (Rim 6.3 – 5). We can understand the notion of “die” in this statement, but we cannot deny that for Paul the baptism means that we accept participation in the death of Jesus on the cross. That’s the death of love for us. How else would we take this participation if not just willing to love it as well and put your life? The old man, full of selfishness, dies to unleash the place of a new, loving, positive life of love.

This love is the essence of salvation and the essence of heaven. The sky is entering just a decision to this love. Therefore, Jesus gives a single commandment: “34 The new commandment I am giving you to love each other. To make you even love each other as I loved you. ” (Jn. 13.34). And then it adds: “35 They will recognize everyone that you are my disciples if you

Love each other. ” (Jn. 13.35). The faithful people know that through their faith they are happening signs and miracles. But the disciples of Jesus – that is, believers and the people who have been saved – know even though they have already taken the salvation – and that is precisely this extreme and all the gift of love, in his passionate radicalism to death! And so I learned a few things: • Distinguish between the signs of FAITH and the signs of SALVATION. That someone acts wonders and signs, testifies to his faith, but not about his salvation! The salvation testifies only and exclusively to love, hamboses his life behind the brethren. Exactly as the end of us, cathopianism, says Catechism: “But he does not salvation, who is, while being privated to the church, but not in love: because he remains in the church only” flesh “and not” heart “.” (KKC 837). • FAITH is important as a gateway to love. John says: “19 we love it because he first loved us.” (1 Jn 4.19). But it can only be said in the power of another statement, which this “mechanism” of the Awakening of Love clarifies: “16 and we, what we believe, have come to know the love that God has to us. God is Love; And who remains in love, remains in God and God remains in it. ” (1 Jn 4.16). Without faith, love is impossible, because only faith in God’s love exempts us effectively and without fear to love the way God is. And so although not every belief leads to love and salvation, without it, salvation and love are unthinkable. Therefore, those clear and radical words of Jesus, “Who do not believe, will be sentenced.” (Mk 16.16). • The ESSENCE of BAPTISM is the relationship of the two-sided extreme gift of love of God and man. The ceremony of baptism is the external celebration of the Treaty, standing on two radical decisions: on the one hand, it is the decision of God to love man up to the extreme, to death and to be his loving father. And on the other hand must be the same decision of man, the decision to love God and people up to the extreme, to death and to be a loving son or daughter of God and brother, or sister of every man! Without this internal decision, baptism remains a unilateral challenge of God, the undecided love – and, of course, in the life of man ineffective… And so I get more and more deeply realizing what it actually does in practice means “being baptized” and “accepting your baptism”. And that it should not remain only in knowledge…

Therefore, those clear and radical words of Jesus, “Who do not believe, will be sentenced.” (Mk 16.16). • The ESSENCE of BAPTISM is the relationship of the two-sided extreme gift of love of God and man. The ceremony of baptism is the external celebration of the Treaty, standing on two radical decisions: on the one hand, it is the decision of God to love man up to the extreme, to death and to be his loving father. And on the other hand must be the same decision of man, the decision to love God and people up to the extreme, to death and to be a loving son or daughter of God and brother, or sister of every man! Without this internal decision, baptism remains a unilateral challenge of God, the undecided love – and, of course, in the life of man ineffective… And so I get more and more deeply realizing what it actually does in practice means “being baptized” and “accepting your baptism”. And  that it  should  not  remain  only  in  knowledge…

The birth of Jesus.

Our goal is not to give children many and detailed knowledge, but to build on them a sincere relationship to God. However, the relationship builds an experience. Comparison or relationship between spouses does not depend on the amount of knowledge from psychology and sexuality, although this knowledge is useful. However, the term experience has many meanings. And especially in the religious area. For example, great festivities can be an experience. But not such experiences are crucial to the relationship to God. It is about in stalling the truths  of faith to the deepest inside of man and their survival. This is mainly obtained by meditation. Children have an extraordinary ability to meditate.   The child wants to hear the same storyteller again and again, although she already knows it, so the reason is satisfied. Why do you want to hear it again? Because he wants to survive. It feels to be there inside the storyboard. The child still does not need, everything to see, hear, to bend.   The child can play with invisible toys and experience the most fantastic adventures on four square meters of flooring. And now finally I will fulfill my promise and I will start to talk about Jesus.   You know who he is. Hi’s a noble, wise mighty God. He became a man to be able to make friends with us. If I want to make friends with someone I want to know about him as much as possible. Let ‘S try to imagine that when Jesus was born. It’s evening already being dimsy. I stand outdoors on the street. Near is walking man and woman. The woman is young and beautiful. Man some kind of backpack. The woman looks very tired They go from home to home and are getting sadder. I’m curious, who are they? I’ve been pretty close and so I hear what they are talking about. They are not from here. They came here to census. They don’t where they sleep. Nowhere do they want to accept them. Stand before the last house. A beautiful woman is looking at a man and talking. Joseph, what do we do if we do not receive us here. After all this night I have a baby. Where will I give it? Go ask for that house. I am stay here. Jozef came back for a while, again they  didn’t accept.They did not get accommodation. They go on already behind the city. In distance they saw poor shacks. The roof is a leak, windows none. It is a shelter for animals. And here in this stable, Jesus was born. And suddenly here in this stable light shine. I’m starting out behind that light. And I hear vocals. It’s a beautiful singing. It chanting Angels. Jesus was born in great misery. Why? Probably because everyone could come to him. If he was born in a royal palace, there was no one to him. And here they are caught by pastoralists. Everyone bears something, some gift. And now I see again beautifully dressed men. These are the scholars of the east. They brought them to the star here. They worship Jesus and give him donations. Because Jesus is God, the Lord of the whole world, you are the Lord of the world. You’ve created everything. And they give you gifts because they are delighted to come, because they love you. I too want to be a clan. I too want to give you a lot of donations. I’m very happy to love me. I want to befriend you. I want to be your friend forever.

I’m spüre you’re  wondering how  our passt fiktional Story goes.How the Lord from the mysterious house solved it so people would know the truth about it.You remember that people were afraid of him,because they thought he was horribly  dangerous.And even those who knew it was good did not dare to him.They felt that only the one who was quite good, could go to him. A that  was nobody.Last time  we ended up saying that the lord  had invented something, People  to know the  truth  About him. But you know, we   want  to know others. What God invented so that  People could recognize him? Even though he is insivible. So that we can get to him even if  he’s  invisible. The son is  like a Father. The Son of God is as wise, good and noble  as God’s Father. So whoever  knows  the Son  of God will know God will meet him. So that People can recognize him and meet him, he became human. But how did  it happen? I’ll talk to you About  that.God Chose  a good  girl  among all women  as the  mother  of his Son. Her name  was Maria. Maria longed for someone to correct what People had  broken. He was  very glad  to give  him a human body so that the invisible  God could show us  People, that to learn that God is good, that  God is  good, that  he loves us. That he does he does  not  want to  punish us but to save us. How ist it possible? You’re sure someone came to visit you and he said  you look very  much  like your Father.Mouth, nose hair,figure,  walking  it all after you Father.  And you often see it yourself when you  look at your parents, when  they’ve  been so many years old, like you.Jesus is God by Father and man  by mother. His Father is the  invisible,  wise good God.Therefore, he is also God who  can everything , everything knows.Maria is the man from her he has  visibly  human  body.  Whoever  believes what  Jesus says, will know the  truth  About  God. And  whoever  befriends  with Jesus, Jesus will  take him to God  the  Father. And with him no one  has  to be afraid  to go  to  God.  From now on, we will talk  about  Jesus. Jesus  saw Jesus, they  listened you, and  wrote  a book About it,  We  call this  book the  Bible.
