Let’s Celebrate!

“Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with Him? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.” Romans 6:3-4

The Bible tells us that when we’re baptized “into Jesus Christ, we’re baptized into his death.” The old you is being buried under the water, and then you come out with “newness of life.” So you go down in the water with your past, shame, guilt, and defeats, and then you come up with a new life. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead now raises you into a new life.

The amazing story of Philip can be found in Acts 8. A Eunuch over the treasury in Ethiopia was traveling in a chariot, and as he was going along, he was reading the book of Isaiah aloud. He was in chapter 53, where it says, “he will be led as a lamb before the slaughter,”…and being led by God, Philip crossed paths with this man and ran up to his chariot and asked him if he understood what he was reading. So Philip shared with the Eunuch that Jesus was the one who had gone to the cross for him. 

Philip didn’t discuss politics, economics, or religion with him. He simply preached Jesus. The Eunuch believed so fervently that when they came to some water that was near the road, he said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?” So right then and there, Philip baptized him! 

After you give your life to Christ, your very next desire should be to get baptized. This solidifies your commitment to live a new life in Christ. If you haven’t been baptized, do not delay! There are angels already celebrating in Heaven over your coming to Christ
