“Because of this basin of repentance and knowledge of God, which has been ordained for the transgression of God's people, as Isaiah cries, we have believed, and we testify that the very baptism which he announced is alone able to purify those who have repented. It is the water of life. But the cisterns which you have dug for yourselves are broken and of no benefit to you. For what is the use of a baptism which cleanses the flesh and body alone? Baptize the soul from wrath and from covetousness, from envy, and from hatred, and, lo, the body is pure.” PeopleHas BeensSoulUseBodyAbleWaterCryBrokenPureBenefitsHatredEnvyFleshRepentanceWrathBaptismTransgressionCovetousnessKnowledge Of GodWater Of Life Author:Justin Martyr
