WATER BAPTISM FOR THE WASHED

MEMORY VERSE: “And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan”

TEXT: MARK 1:9-13

The word baptism is from the Greek word “Baptiso” meaning to immerse. “And straightway coming up out of the water …” (Mark 1:10) also confirms that water baptism is by immersion and not by sprinkling of water or any other erroneous ways as taught and practised by some religious people.Water baptism is part of the Great Commission given to the disciples by the Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection and shortly before His ascension. It is for every Christian and it should come after salvation experience. It is a public declaration that we now belong to the kingdom of God as we identify with Jesus in His death, burial and resurrection. It is done by one immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, as Jesus commanded, and not thrice.

However, it must be stated that water baptism is not equivalent to salvation. We only become saved through repentance and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. After we become saved, we must obey the word of the Lord and be baptized.

QUOTE: It is for every christian.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to obey your word on water baptism.

CHALLENGE: Get baptized in water after salvation
