Harvest Raleigh
Our Baptism Service at Harvest Raleigh, June 25 2017
Big idea: Baptism illustrates the ending of your old life without Christ and the beginning of your new life with Christ.
1. The ending of your old life! Penalty paid. Sin buried. (1-4a).
Romans 6:1-4 ESV
Salvation is a gift. You do nothing to earn it but you must receive it by faith.
If your faith is in Jesus, you are covered by the righteousness of Jesus, not your own.
You prevent abusing grace by owning your identity in Christ.
2. The beginning of your new life! Raised to walk new (4b).
Romans 6:4 ESV
Baptism anticipates...
- Life change
- Lifestyle change
- Life eternal
Ephesians 2:1-10 ESV
YOU ARE LOVED!
