1 Peter 3:20-21
3:20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while theark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Water baptism equals to the ark of Noah. Thus, there is only one true water baptism that saves people.
The true baptism is as follows.- It is according to the Bible or the will of God.
- We must be baptized as Jesus was.
6:2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Colossians 2:11-12

What things that must be sanctified?
- The stain in the garment of ministry, that is the one of wickedness and laziness.
Matthew 25:26
25:26 "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.- The stain of laziness is being unfaithful in ministering God. If one is lazy, he will be wicked and unclean.
Proverbs 18:9
18:9 He who is slothful in his workIs a brother to him who is a great destroyer. - The stain of wickedness is the one of Cain, Korah, and Balaam.
Jude 1:11-12
1:11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
1:12 These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;
The stain of Cain is killing Abel because the ministry of Abel is accepted by God while his ministry is not. It refers to hatred without any reasons.
The stain of Korah [Numbers 16:8-10] is disobedience to God and the true teaching Word, as well as to pastor and physical parents. The consequence is going down.
2 Peter 2:15
2:15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the sonof Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
The stain of Balaam is ministering God with aiming only for physical matters. Everything is counted with money, so he will not receive a denarius. A denarius is the grace of God to pass the days of antichrist, so we can reach eternal life in Heaven.
But there is also the stain of uncleaness, that is the one of Hophni and Phinehas.
1 Samuel 2:22
2:22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
The stain of uncleaness leads to sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
25:30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
If one serves God with the stains of laziness, wickedness, and uncleaness, he will become the unprofitable servant who will be cast into the outer darkness.
Matthew 25:21
25:21 His lord said to him, 'Well done,good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
We must experience sanctification by washing the tunic in the blood. The stains of laziness, wickedness, and uncleaness are sanctified so we become the servant of God who is good and faithful, as well as good and fervent in spirit. It equals to wearing the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread. The results are as follows.- We experience the Heavenly joy so our countenance will shine.
- We are used in the building of the perfect body of Christ.
- The stain of laziness is being unfaithful in ministering God. If one is lazy, he will be wicked and unclean.
- The sanctification of the characters.
- Envy.
Matthew 20:11,15
20:11 And when they had received it,they complained against the landowner,
20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
Envy happens because one does not appreciate the blessing and usage from God. It also happens when one does not value God's mercy, so he grumbles, provokes, slanders, even blasphemes God.
Envy must be sanctified so we can do good and right deeds. We can testify about God and worship Him. It equals to wearing the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread. - Worry about daily life and future.
Matthew 6:25-26,31-34
6:25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
6:26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
6:31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
6:32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day isits own trouble.
The consequences are as follows.- Being unable to prioritize the ministry to God, and being unfaithful in ministering Him.
- Being unable to live in righteousness.
12:25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,But a good word makes it glad.
A worried person is as a hunchback, meaning the outlook is only to physical matters. The consequence is having many questions to the true teaching Word, many unanswered questions about life, and many tears that cannot be wiped. If it is continued, he will be marked with the number 666 by antichrist.
Worry must be sanctified so we can seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness. We can minister God with faithfulness and righteousness. The result is everything will be added to us [Matthew 6:33]. We live from His cross, so it will always be a surplus. We lack of nothing even we live in abundance so we always give thank to God. We can live wherever, whenever, under any situation, up to the eternal life. - Being unable to prioritize the ministry to God, and being unfaithful in ministering Him.
- Envy.
Thus, the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread means that we minister God with holiness in the anointing of Holy Spirit. We serve Him with faithfulness and goodness, faithfulness and fervency in spirit, as well as faithfulness and righteousness. We testify about God and worship Him. It equals to having the opened eyes to see Jesus who sits on the right side of the throne of Father God. Thus, Jesus' eyes will be opened for all of us. He cares and struggles for all of us. The results are as follows.
- God's eyes are on His servants who are powerless.
Matthew 14:13-14,16
14:13 When Jesus heard it,He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
14:14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.
14:16 But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
The merciful hands of God are able to care our life in the midst of difficulties, up to the days of antichrist.
The merciful hands of God are able to help us when facing impossibilities. - God's eyes are on the unfaithful person and the one who has not served Him yet.
Mark 10:20-21
10:20 And he answered and said to Him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth."
10:21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." - God's eyes are on His servants who fall in sins and face total failure.
Luke 22:60-62
22:60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!"Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
22:61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
22:62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
God sees with His mercy, not with judgment. He sees through the crow of the rooster, that is the repeated shepherding Word. The result is renewal power.
John 21:18-19
21:18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry youwhere you do not wish."
21:19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me."
We can stretch out our hands to God and love Him more than everything. We can be obedient until the flesh does not sound anymore. Thus, the merciful hands of God will be stretched out to help and recover our life. We are renewed little by little until we are perfect on His second coming, and we will be lifted up to the throne of Heaven forever.
God blesses us.
