Baptism

“We have been buried with Christ by baptism into death” (Rom. 6:4). “…having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:12”. Baptism with water is an outward expression of our faith in Christ. In the books of Acts there was a fire baptism. When we accept Jesus we are baptised with the Holy Spirit in us. The Holy Spirit which manifests in such a way so as to literally “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). When we accept Jesus we are raised with Christ which refers to the work of God moving in our lives. We are then given a new heart that seeks after God. Salvation frees us from the burden of the law. While as Christian’s God desires us to follow Him with all our heart He knows we can’t be perfect. Since we all sin, that is where Jesus comes in His grace makes us worthy before God to receive eternal life in Heaven after we die. Praise God for His grace. Amen.
