NEXT STEPS: Baptism預覽

WHY GET BAPTIZED?

In wrapping up our days talking about why we should be baptized, we thought it would be fitting to use the simplest reason: because Jesus told us to. Believe it or not, you won't always know why God has led you to certain places in your life, and you won't always be comfortable. Maybe that's the case for you and baptism too. Maybe the idea of being dunked into a tank of water in front of other people sounds terrifying to you. Following Jesus means that you learn to trust Him even (or especially) in the areas where you're not even sure where He's taking you. It's a step of faith, trusting that He's got the rest of the plan figured out.

If you're on the fence, we would encourage you - our God is one that can be trusted. When He asks you to do something, He's got a good reason and He's got a good plan behind all of it. You never know what He might have in store for that day of baptism in the life of another person, even if it's not you.

You might play a much bigger role than you think!

So why should you get baptized? Because Jesus did and said He was doing so in order to set an example for us. Read these passages after to see what we're talking about!
