Description: Baptism is more than just a ritual—it's an act of obedience and transformation, symbolizing our unity with Christ in His death and resurrection. As we dive into Romans 6:1-11, we'll uncover how baptism represents dying to our old selves and rising to a new life in Christ. When a believer is baptized, it is a significant step toward a life of faith, obedience, and renewal in Christ Jesus. Join us this week as we discuss what we believe about water baptism.
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you.” This is, indeed the full proclamation of the Gospel, and we have no more right to leave out the baptism than we have to leave out the repentance.
- CHARLES SPURGEON
Baptism is the LAWFUL COMMAND of our SUPREME AUTHORITY
Passages to know about baptism:
○ Romans 6
○ Colossians 2
○ 1 Peter 3
1. Baptism is a funeral service for our old self
SIN: Rebellion against God in thought and deed either through our participation in what He forbids or failure to obey what He commands.
The believing penitent turns his weeping eyes to Christ upon the cross, gazes with mingled sorrow and joy upon the blood that flowed from His many wounds, places all his reliance upon the God- appointed propitiation, “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world,” and in that
very moment all his iniquities are gone forever. The Lord has blotted them out, and driven them away, like clouds that have been dispersed by a tornado, and that can never be found again. - CHARLES SPURGEON
When you were baptized, your life of sin was BURIED
2. Baptism is an act of self-denying obedience
Our OLD self is the version of you that was directed primarily by your own WILL
3. Baptism is an declaration of what we believe
Why be baptized into death?
Because of what we KNOW
Because of what we BELIEVE
Baptism is a declaration of what we BELIEVE, in light of what we KNOW
4. Baptism is a pledge of loyalty to king Jesus
Who are you loyal to?
Loyalty to King Jesus is worth the cost
