Water is cleansing - water is restorative - water saves…and it is all through the old testament

Lets just begin with creation

The waters were divided and creation came from water

Water is mentioned 722 times in the old testament

Noah was saved by water from the wickedness around him

• The earth was cleaned of its impurity by a flood
• Water got rid of the evil
• Got rid of the old man
• Made a way for the new man

Moses passed through the water to be saved from the Egyptians

• To be saved from the evil
• To be rescued
• To be delivered

Washing with Water cleansed impurities or discharges in Leviticus 15

• To be cleansed they were to wash clothes and bathe in water

In the new testament 1 Peter 3:21 - baptism now saves us!! Not removing the filth of the flesh, but an answer of a clean conscience towards God. This is shown as a saving similar to how Noah and the eight souls on the ark were saved by water.
