The Daily Pickle

In this episode we look at the Online Bible Greek Lexicon definition for the word “baptize/baptized” (Strong’s number G907). A very clear example of its meaning is found in a Greek recipe for making pickles. Though it is a natural example, it directs our attention to the greater reality and finality of the new birth. Greater than the impossibility of a pickle to revert back to being a cucumber again, it is utterly impossible for one who is born again to go back to the condition of death (before new birth); to what was, what no longer is, times past, etc. We also look at the cleansing of the cup where mankind can only clean the outside, but not the inside. The vessel (the soul) is once and forever made clean once Christ is present in that soul at the moment of new birth. This of course is by God’s ability and not mankind’s ability, and thus brings mankind to find its only hope in God Himself. As always, If this has been a blessing, please share it with others.
