💧 Baptism isn’t just about water—it’s about water combined with God’s Word.
You can’t just grab a bottle of water and wash away your sins. So, how does this work?
It’s simple, yet powerful:
The water in baptism is paired with the words of God, spoken by your pastor in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
That water, united with the Word, becomes a cleansing flood that washes away all your sins.
Original sin? Gone.
All the sins you commit? Forgiven.
You are made new. 🙏
You are restored in that baptismal grace. You are His.
Contributor Chris Hull is the senior pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church and Student Center in Macomb, IL.
