“Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” Acts 2:38
“So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him [the eunuch] the Good News about Jesus.
As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?” He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.” Acts 8:35-38
If you are a Christ follower and have never been baptized...
It’s time.
Scripture tells us that baptism is the very first thing we are supposed to do after asking Jesus to come into our lives as Lord and Savior. When we don’t do it for some reason (and there are many reasons we try to come up with...), we are being disobedient to God’s plan for our lives. This disobedience puts a cap on our growth as Christ-followers...as leaders...as spouses...as boyfriends/girlfriends...
The very first thing God asks us to do after salvation... and we say no.
Baptism may not solve all of our problems….
But it does put us in position for God’s blessings.
And God certainly wants to bless our lives, our relationships, and our families more than we could ever know. What’s holding that back? Perhaps it’s not taking that one simple step into the waters of baptism. I am praying that you would respond to the nudge and join us at the beach this Easter Sunday at one of our campuses.
