 Through Baptism Jesus Makes Us Live by His Life and Power ㅡ

 “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:4)

 Christ made baptism the entrance to His spiritual kingdom.

 Those who receive the ordinance of baptism thereby make a public declaration that they have renounced the world, and have become members of the royal family.

 Christ forgives every penitent sinner, and as the forgiven one, at the time of baptism, rises from the watery grave, he is declared a new creature, whose life is hid with Christ in God.

 Let us ever remember that it is our high privilege to be purged from our old sins.

 When the Christian takes his baptismal vow, divine help is pledged to him.

 The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit stand ready to work in his behalf.

 God places at his command the resources of heaven, that he may be an overcomer.

 His own power is small; but God is omnipotent, and God is his helper. Daily he is to make known his wants at the throne of grace.

 By faith and trust, by availing himself of the resources provided, he can be more than a conqueror.

 (Our High Calling 157)
