Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
1 John 1:9 If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.
Acts 2:38 “
Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:2 How shall we who
died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from
the law of sin and death
1 John 3 New King James Version (NKJV)
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and
sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6
Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you.
He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and
he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor
is he who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12 not as Cain
who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.
13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love
his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down
our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because
we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is
His commandment: that we should
believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave use commandment.
24 Now he who keeps
His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
John 15:10 10 If you keep
My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My
Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
My commandments:
1 John 3:23 believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another
Father’s commandments: The Ten Commandments
20 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Exodus 34:28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of
the covenant, the Ten Commandments
Exodus 31:13 (sign of covenant) ‘Surely My
Sabbaths you shall keep, for it
is a
sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that
you may know that I
am the Lord who sanctifies you.
1 Corinthians 11:25 (
sign of NEW covenant) In the same manner
He also
took the cup after supper, saying, “This
cup is
the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink
it, in remembrance of Me.”
