“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 your marriage problems... it may not reveal the man/woman that you have been searching for...
But it does put you in position for God to bless you.
I want to encourage you to join us at the beach this Easter Sunday for baptism. You may not think it will make much difference... that what you’re going through won’t change. I assure you... baptism is so much more than getting wet. It’s telling the world that you belong to Christ... you are following in His example... you are dedicated to what He has asked you to do... and you are walking boldly with Him as the leader of your life.
God wants to bless your life, your relationships, and your family more than you 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.
