CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER
H2O bond angle = 104.5high heat capacity = 4.184 J/gK
high delectric constantpolarremarkable properties! H-bondingice floatsgood solvent
IMPORTANCE OF WATEREarth’s surface is > 70% H2O
Our body is ~ 2/3 H2O*Very important to life – scientists claim possibility of life on moon, moons of Saturn, galaxy because of it

WATER IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
1 Peter 3:20-21 water baptism saves us John 3:5 we must be born of the water & the
Spirit Romans 6 we are buried with Christ in

Christ makes this all possible John 4:1-24 Jesus with the woman at the well
Christ is the Living Water Ephesians 5:26 we are cleansed by water Rev. 22:17 water of life
“BAPTISM DOTH ALSO NOW SAVE US” Conclusion: we are saved spiritually
through the water. It is not anything magic about the
water. It is not because we are doing some
great thing. This is how God designed for us to be
saved.
