WATER BAPTISM Celebration

February 21, 2012 by  

Water Baptism Celebration

Sunday, April 22, 9:45 am

Once a person admits that he or she is a sinner and turns to Christ for salvation, the Bible says that a person should proclaim the life change that has occurred. The watching world needs to know. Baptism has always stood as a public testimony for people who have moved from being a “seeker” to being a “believer” in Christ.

Believers are those who have realized that their sin has separated them from God. They have given up all efforts to reach God through good works or religious activity. They have concluded that Jesus Christ’s death on the cross for their sins is the only thing that can bridge the gap between them and God. A believer is someone who has decided to trust Christ alone for his or her salvation.

 

If you have come to this point in your spiritual journey, then you are ready to be baptized. Just as a bride and groom tell of their love for one another through the symbol of rings, you should also want to show the world, through baptism, of your union with Christ. Let the miracle that has happened in you show through the sacrament He ordained for you.

What Baptism Symbolizes:
Baptism is a way of showing others that you have entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

It illustrates Christ’s burial and resurrection. When you are lowered into the water, that’s a picture of Jesus’ death and Him being buried in a tomb. When you come up out of the water, that’s a picture of His mighty resurrection. Baptism doesn’t just tell your story – it tells the story of Jesus.

It illustrates new life as a Christian. When you go under the water, it’s a picture of your old self being washed away. As a Christian, your old life is gone, and you’re a brand new person.

Baptism doesn’t make you a believer. It shows that you already are a believer. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches us that we are saved by faith through grace, not by any action on our part. Baptism isn’t required for salvation, it’s a symbol that it’s already happened.
