Hello! Just a quick little life update in today's post.. Quite a few exciting things to look forward to in the upcoming weeks as 2019 is coming to an end and one of which being that I am getting Baptized in exactly TWO weeks (November 24) and I couldn't be more excited.
I am declaring that I am a follower of Jesus Christ by publicly confessing my faith in, and commitment to Jesus Christ. It is the next step after salvation through repentance and faith and is an important foundation for Christian life.
“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:16
Here's my (shortened explanation) on WHY I'm getting Baptized, enjoy.
I have chosen to get baptized for multiple reasons. One being a symbol of Obedience. Jesus said that you should be baptized when you trust your life to Him. In baptism, followers of Jesus get to experience something Jesus experienced. Being baptized is also a huge milestone for me, which marks the beginning of my new faith journey. It’s a symbol of my new life as a Christian. We bury the “old life” and I now rise to walk in a “new life”. This is my outward symbol of commitment that I made in my heart, a commitment that will be followed through and lived out on a daily basis.
Romans 6:4 says, “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
