"Remembering Our Baptism"
(Romans 6:1-10)
Baptism is the "living out the Gospel" in our lives -
God's Grace given, received, and lived out in this world, as part of our destiny for Eternity
THE WATER OF BAPTISM
1. Is a sign of our death - being buried / going under
Our sin leads to death. But Jesus takes our sin - when we give it to him - and dies our death
2. Is a sign of our cleansing - being washed with the "blood of the Lamb"
3. Is a sign of our renewal / new life - being filled from within with "The wellspring of Life" ("...but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4:14)
We come out with Resurrection Lives - to live FOR HIM, THROUGH HIM WHO LIVES IN US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
