water always has been used for the salvation with the blood Blood and water are two of life’s essentials the third being air (oxygen). There can be no life without either. “And there are three that bare witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water and the blood: And these three agree in one.” (1 Jn. 5:8) Blood is 90 percent water and 10 percent other substance. It circulates through the body carrying nourishment and oxygen and removing waste from the body. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul. (Lev. 17:11) Where there is blood there is water. It should be no surprise that throughout the scripture water is often used in conjunction with the blood. (Lev. 14:49-52; Heb. 9:18-20) So then water is the easy and simple choice to represent the blood of our Savior. “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” (1 Cor. 10:4) When it comes to spiritual drinks water is the only one. In the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I say “drink ye all of it”. (Mat. 26:27) In matters of salvation, water always has been used for salvation with the blood. So we believe and so we teach others to believe. |
