So, why get baptized? Does it save you? Does it cleanse you of sin? Is it what you do to stay cool in this weather? No, no and no. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision. It is a symbolic way of identifying with Jesus; of making known to God and to the world that you are now a follower of Jesus. It symbolizes His death, burial and resurrection and shows that we are new creatures ready to live a new life.
Romans 6:4 says, “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
We get to witness the wonderful ordinance of baptism this Sunday at Christ Fellowship. I hope you will be here to support Preston and his family and our church family as we do. I can’t wait to see you! I love you all! — Todd
