The overflow reminded me of how God pours out blessings on His children, and how important it is to recognize that “the Lord . . . daily loads us with benefits” (Ps. 68:19). |

Read: Psalm 103:1-10 |
Although I know He has furnished countless good things for me, when the car blows a gasket, when the flu infects my family, and when relationships threaten to unravel, dissatisfaction threatens my view of God’s blessings—they seem more like infrequent drips from a faucet rather than a flood of water from a hydrant! Maybe that’s why in Psalm 103 David reminds us to “forget not all His benefits” (v.2). And then, to help us, he lists a torrent of blessings for believers. He reminds us that God forgives all our iniquities, heals all our diseases, redeems our lives from destruction, crowns us with lovingkindness, and satisfies our mouths with good things (vv.3-5). (Psalm
103-Audio-)

Forget not all His benefits. —Psalm 103:2 |
Today, let’s take time to acknowledge God’s abundance instead of overlooking the overflow of His blessings. We’re
loaded with benefits daily,
Sent down from the Father above; His mercies and blessings abounding Are gifts of His marvelous love. —Anon. Adding
up your blessings will multiply your joy.

La respuesta corta y bíblica que une todo es lo que dice el apóstol Pablo en Efesios 4:5: "un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautismo". Sin embargo, cuando escudriñamos el Nuevo Testamento, vemos que ese "único bautismo" y la experiencia cristiana se manifiestan en tres dimensiones o momentos distintos. Para explicárselo de una forma muy didáctica, podemos dividirlo en Tres Bautismos Espirituales y Una Ordenanza Externa. Los 3 Bautismos del Nuevo Testamento (La Dimensión Espiritual) Para que los hermanos lo entiendan de forma sencilla, la clave está en identificar quién es el que bautiza (el agente) y en qué elemento nos sumerge. La palabra bautismo viene del griego baptizo, que significa literalmente "sumergir" ...
