Lesson 1: TOPIC: BORN AGAIN/ BAPTISM

Objective: To understand the spiritual application of being born again

Before beginning this lesson, pause and pray thanking God for His goodness to you so far then
ask Him to bless your day. Read the key verse daily.

Choose from song service if you can: https://youtu.be/Qx88k7-axSg

Key Verses:
1. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth forever. 1 Peter 1: 23.

2. Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the
dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6: 4.

The fountain of the heart must be purified before the streams can become pure. He who is trying to reach heaven by
his own works in keeping the law is attempting an impossibility. There is no safety for one who has merely a legal
religion, a form of godliness. The Christian's life is not a modification or improvement of the old, but a
transformation of nature. There is a death to self and sin, and a new life altogether. This change can be brought
about only by the effectual working of the Holy Spirit. -The Desire of Ages, 172:1.

The wind is heard among the branches of the trees, rustling the leaves and flowers; yet it is
invisible, and no man knows whence it comes or whither it goes. So with the work of the Holy
Spirit upon the heart. It can no more be explained than can the movements of the wind. A person
may not be able to tell the exact time or place, or to trace all the circumstances in the process of
conversion; but this does not prove him to be unconverted. -The Desire of Ages, 172:3.

Can we tell if a person is

truly converted at
baptism?

The only mode of baptism recognized in the New Testament is immersion. The Greek word
"baptizo," from which our English word "baptism" is derived, means to immerse, to overwhelm,
or to plunge beneath.-W. H. Branson, Drama of the Ages, 168: 3.

What is the manner of Christian baptism? What do the following baptism accounts have in common?

a. "John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there." John 3: 23.

b. ",Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water." Matthew 3:16.

c. "They went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him." Acts 8: 38 .

of the world.-Testimonies, vol. 6, 91:2, 3.

1. Baptism is a most sacred and important ordinance, and there should be a thorough
understanding as to its meaning. It means repentance for sin, and the entrance upon a new life in
Christ Jesus.-Testimonies, vol. 6, 93: 3.

2. Those who are baptized in the threefold name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, at
the very entrance of their Christian life declare publicly that they have forsaken the service of
Satan and have become members of the royal family, children of the heavenly King.-
Testimonies, vol. 6, 91:3.
