“Passed from death into Life.” John 5:24; Romans 6:4.
What is our faith, my dear brothers and sisters, if we do not believe that, according to scripture, we actually rose again from the dead in the Waters of Baptism?!
The First Resurrection is the Born-Again experience! We—the born again believers—will not see the Second Death (Revelation 20:6). Born again means just what it says: It is a new birth—a resurrection from the dead. The old has passed away, the new has come. We are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Believe it with a child-like faith what the scriptures declare!
We did hear the voice of Jesus when the minister of God (the mouth piece of God) preached the Good News to us and we were quickened. We rose from our graves (i.e. the Waters of Baptism), being quickened by His Spirit, just as Jesus said in John 5:28-29.
Just because we do not see the unseen doesn’t mean it does not exist. Apostle Paul says, the things that are seen are temporal but the things that are unseen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).
May God give us the sight to see that we are actually living & walking an eternal life already! This life was onset when we were born-again (resurrected) of the Water and the Spirit, according to our Lord Jesus in John 3:5.
