Any Ideas for a bible verse?

Question

I need a bible verse and 3 things about it.
I can't think of a good one. Can you please type a bible verse and 3 things about it? I need it tonight. Oh, and it can't be the 23rd psalm! Thanks!

Answer 1

Jesus said "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

1. Jesus said "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved". (Belief + Baptism = Saved) This is not the same order that many teach today. Many teach he that believes and is saved shall be baptized.

2. If you believe Jesus, both belief and baptism come before salvation. If you believe one is saved before or without baptism, you are not following these words of Jesus.

3. What would Jesus have said if he had meant "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved"? I believe he said what he meant and meant what he said! I believe Jesus! "He that believes not shall be damned!"

Bonus point: Every example in the New Testament of the conversion of a sinner after this point in time specifically mentions baptism. Repentance, confession, love, faith, mercy, grace, etc. are not specifically mentioned in every case, but baptism is! Baptism was always immediate. No convert ate, drank, or slept until they were baptized. This shows the importance of baptism.

In Acts 2:38-42, about 3000 were baptized the same day. Surely it would have been more convenient to schedule this many over several days if baptism wasn't necessary for salvation.

In Acts 16, the jailer was baptized about midnight (verses 25 and 33). Surely it would have been more convenient to wait till the light of day.

Saul had not eaten for three days, but he was baptized and then he took food. (Acts 9:9, 18-19) Surely he was hungry.

Why the urgency? Because Jesus said, "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved". These people, when they discovered they were lost, did not want to remain in that condition any longer. They wanted to be "baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins!" (Acts 2:38)

Answer 2

In the Holy Bible, The 3rd Chapter of John, verse 16.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, and Whosoever Believeth in Me , shall not parish, but have Everlasting Life.

Answer 3

Because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance. James 1 v 3.

1. Your irritations come from three primary sources: people, circumstances and self. You know that there is a natural tendency to run from things that irritate. However God wants to use irritations to build positive character qualities in your life.

2. God can use anything in your life for growth and development.

3. 'Trials' are difficulites that result from an imperfect world, corrupted by sin. 'Testings' are temporary difficulties which God purposely places in an individuals's life. They are designed to point out destructive behaviours or dangerous negative attitudes. Satan uses 'temptations' to entice you into wrong behaviours and attitudes.

Answer 4

3 John 2
Beloved I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.
One we see what God wills above all else for his children. that our soul (which is the mind, will, and emotions) would prosper or be successful and renewed according to the Word of God and that we his family are to live in prosperity and good health all our days
Two that poverty and lack and sickness and disease and a broken soul are obviously not the will of God and dont represent God's best for our lives.
Three that through a prosperous soul we can attain a totally prosperous life. Complete life prosperity. blessed in our relationships, our homes our businesses our finances and our physical bodies

Answer 5

Is this Bible study homework? You're supposed to do it yourself. One of my favorites is Jeremiah 29:11-13 - "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." It shows the Lord not only loves us, but has a plan for our lives. It helps us feel secure. It gives us hope.

Answer 6

shame about psalm 23, it's a good one... ;-) anyway... matt. 7:1: judge ye not lest ye be judged

- it tells us to look at our own failings before we criticise others
- it advocates tolerance and respect
- it prevents bigotry
