Behind our baptism is the glorious truth of God’s sovereignty in man’s salvation. Without grace, we remain dead. Without the quickening of the Spirit, we remain a corpse. Without the breath of God, we remain dust. Unless God turns us, we won’t be turned. The reverberating truth of this covenant sign is that God turns you from your sin and to Christ.
Baptism says to you that though you once were covenantally in darkness, you were once dead in your sins, you were once under God’s wrath, by God & grace you’re now in the Light, you’re now alive in Christ, you’re now reckoned as righteous. Where once you were a slave to sin, now you aren’t your own, you’re bought with a price. You’re now a free son of grace. And so, live in accordance with what your Father in heaven says about you here in these waters.
So welcome our brother to Jesus Christ…
