The picture is Noah, His preaching for 120 years, and the eight souls that got in the Ark.
1 Peter 3:20…eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
The waters of the flood came upon the earth…God’s Judgment and Wrath took the lives of every living thing…but eight souls were saved in the Ark…by water. They were saved from the Judgment of an angry God. They got in the Ark. They obeyed the Gospel. They lived according to God in the Spirit.
1 Peter 4:6…For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
The like figure is the Spirit’s Baptism that puts the believer into Christ and His body. It’s the Spirit’s baptism that saves us from God’s future Judgment. After hearing the Gospel, we repent and trust Christ for personal forgiveness. We get put into (baptized into) Christ by the Spirit of God which is a like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us. When we are in Christ we are saved from Wrath like Noah and his family were, when they were put in the Ark by the Spirit of God.
Gen. 7:16-17…And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
In the New Testament the Spirit’s baptism into Christ is a likefigure to how God put Noah and his family into the Ark and saved them from the Judgment to come. In the New Testament Jesus is the Ark. Glory!

Three types of people and three types of struggle
1. The sinner...without Christ; disobedient; in total rebellion to the presence of God; out of harmony.
2. The believer in Christ...forgiven, back into sin, forgiven, back into sin...etc. Without victory; has an inner conflict between the divine nature and the carnal. A civil war is in his members. Doubt interferes with his faith. He's up and down, in and out, back and forth, wants salvation, and wants the world. He struggles with his relationship with God. Worldly sorrow, not godly sorrow from wrongdoing. Double minded and unstable. Easy prey to temptation. Out of harmony. Uncontrolled by the Spirit.
3. The believer in Christ...repentant, forgiven, God conscious, morally obligated, obedient to God, holiness of character, strong in faith, victorious over the world, flesh, and the Devil; Sold on the Christian experience; Avoids or overcomes situations that can quench or grieve the Holy Spirit. Not easy prey to temptation. Avoids ungodliness. Obedient to the presence of God. In harmony with God. Controlled by the Holy Spirit. Single-minded and stable.
Three types of struggle...
1. What man can do to obtain salvation, works, human effort, not trusting God's divine Grace
2. Inner conflict, war in the members, conflict between the flesh and the Spirit
3. World pressures, weights, problems of life…outer circumstances

To our Christian Brethren around the Globe...
The Bible teaches us we can live holy and have a clean heart because Christ changes the heart of man with His saving Grace.
"If" we sin we have and Advocate (Jesus) with the Father. We can confess our sins to Him. He will cleanse and forgive...and restore us to right-standing with God.
The Bible teaches us to turn from sin and to accept Christ. This is repentance that comes "before" we accept Christ...not afterwards.
Christians do not pray to those who are dead. Christians pray to the living God who hears and answers our prayers. Necromancy is communication with the dead. Necromancy is a sin against God according to the Bible.
There is liberty in the Spirit of God. Grace gives...the Law demands.
Enjoy your walk with Christ. Do it in the Spirit...not in the flesh. Glorify Him in body and Spirit. You're His.
Thanks for stopping by.

Christ can purge man from dead works...
The object of this study focuses primarily on the person of Christ who delivers men from the bondage of sin and removes guilt from the human conscience. These factors cause men to produce “dead works” in the eyes of God. They struggle in sin to get saved; and they struggle with a sinful heart after they get saved. This struggle and this mindset has caused men to wander in the wilderness, to grumble, and to complain for centuries. Only Christ (who was offered once) can deliver man from such bondage and purge man from the guilt sin brings to the human conscience.
In the Old Testament men could make atonement for sin but the root of sin still existed and so did the guilt caused from sin. Only Christ who was God in the flesh could have sinlessness, flesh and blood as you and I, and still have the fullness of God’s Eternal Spirit to purge man from such bondages. The following verse states such truth.
Hebrews 9:14…How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Christ(God in the flesh) was filled with the Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary. The Bible tells us Christ was given the Spirit without measure. Matthew’s Gospel teaches Christ was led of the Spirit into the wilderness where he fasted for 40 days and was tempted of the Devil. Jesus was anointed of the Spirit when He became a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. By the Eternal Spirit Christ suffered, died, and rose from the grave according to the Scriptures.
Christ is the reason why we can be purged from dead works and the conscience can be freed from guilt caused from sin. Recognize who Christ is. Christ’s supremacy is the theme of the Bible. By Him all things exist. He purges man from dead works…

To our European Brethern...May the Lord Jesus richly bless you
Just a brief note. Thanks Europe for stopping by this site. We appreciate you coming here in the name of Jesus. The name above all names. This site dedicated to Holy Hubert Lindsey is now being published and ministered around the Globe. Our intent is to magnify Christ Jesus.
I have been lax in weeks past keeping this Blog updated. This is due to various things going in my life. Not to many things that Jesus is not first in my life. He is! Glory!
Anyway this ministry was started to spread knowledge about Bible and Christ...around the globe. Two types of knowledge. Intellectual or head knowledge; and experiential knowledge we get from the Spirit of God. This blog offers much preaching and teaching that edifies those who desire to know "more" about God's Word.
There are many Blogs and preaching audios to review here but I need to keep it refreshed often likewise. Also we would appreciate your Biblical comments or Biblical questions. Please keep in touch. Share our site with others. With love, may the Lord richly bless your life in Christ and your studies of the Bible.
Sincerely,
Rick Roehm
