what is his name, and what is his son's name?

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?     - Proverbs 30:4

Praise JESUS

I am amazed whenever I read this chapter in Proverbs in the Holy Bible. This person Agur (means "the one who is brave in the pursuit of wisdom") says, "Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy" verse2, 3, but when we read verse4, the questions he put, tells us how much more he knew about the LORD. We could see his words of his wisdom in the entire chapter.

Agur knew about the Son of LORD, even hundreds of years before the SON of GOD come in to this world. The Holy Bible tells us that the SON of GOD lived among us. John 1:14 says, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth", and also Matthew 1:21 says ".. thou shalt call his name JESUS".

Agur put many questions in the Proverbs 30:4. Let me also try to put some questions.

But why should the SON of GOD come to this world and live among us?

The Holy Bible tells us in John 3:16, 17, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved”.

But why should we get saved?

The Holy Bible tells us in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”

When GOD created Adam and Eve HE created them in HIS image, as perfect holy people and covered them with HIS Glory. Once Adam and Eve committed sin by disobeying the LORD, the sinful nature entered into human race, and all now all of humanity is immersed in sin. We are sinners not because we commit sin, but we commit sin because we are sinners. We need a Savior to take us out from this miserable situation, this sinful nature. So, Son of GOD, JESUS CHRIST came to this world to save us. The Holy Bible tells us in Matthew 1:21, “thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins”

And now how to get saved?

A jailor asked the same question to Apostle Paul in Acts 16:30, and Paul replied, “…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” Acts 16:31

Also Romans 10:9, 10 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”

And also LORD JESUS CHRIST said in Mark 16:16, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

Now, people have different opinions on how to get baptized? Some say, sprinkle some water on a person to get baptized, others say, go through a flag you get baptized and other say you have to immerse in the water to get baptized.

We will see what the scripture says on how to get baptism.

The world baptism came from the Greek world “baptizo” which means immerse. During the baptism, people should be immersed into the water. The Holy Bible tells us in Romans 6:4, “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”

We can see, LORD JESUS CHRIST took immerse baptism in Matthew 3:13, “Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him”, to sprinkle some water, He no need to go to river Jordan.

Acts 8:36 says, Phillip gave immerse baptism to the treasurer of the queen of Ethiopia, to sprinkle some water they no need to stop in some place where they could find some water, they would have taken with the water they have for drinking.

From the scripture, we could conclude that baptism should be taken by immersing in the water, symbolizes that person gets buried for his/her sinful nature.

And finally to complete the salvation, we should go to a good Bible based Church. The Holy Bible tells us in Acts 2:47, “And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved”. I can recommend you to go to any Pentecostal Churches (Acts 2:1) like the Assemblies of God.

Dear reader, if you are not saved and going to a Church, you can also follow the above steps and get saved.

Praise JESUS
