having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
COLOSSIANS 2:12-
Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
ACTS 2:38-
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;
Titus 3:5
"Now, if you’re saved, you’re saved. If God saves you tonight, knowing He’s going to lose you ten years from today, He is defeating His Own purpose; the infinite, Almighty, Eternal, everlasting wisdom, God, doesn’t know enough then to know whether you will hold out or whether you won’t. Then, when He saves you, and say,
“Well, I’ll give him a trial, and see what he’ll do,” then He does not know the end from the beginning. God knows what He’s doing, don’t you never worry about that. It’s you and I stumbling along.
God knows what He’s doing.
And He knew we…whether we’d hold out, or what we would do. Now, the Bible said that, Esau and Jacob, before either child was born, God said, “I love one, and hate the other one,” before they even breathed their first breath, that His election might stand true.
Jesus Christ is by faith; not what you can scientifically prove, but what you believe. I can't scientifically prove you tonight, in this building, that there is a God, but yet I know He's here. But, by my faith, vindicates it. Abraham could not scientifically prove to you that he was going to have a baby to that woman, and she was nearly a hundred years old. But his faith confirmed it. See? Didn't need any scientific proof. Why, the… the doctor would said, “The old man is crazy, out here saying he's going to have a—a baby by that woman; him a hundred years old, and her ninety.” But, you see, God said so, so it don't take science. It takes faith, to believe God's Word, not science.
