Matt
28:18-20
18
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to
Me in heaven and on earth.19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit,20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded
you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. NKJV
Water
baptism? Why is it
important? The early church baptized people as soon as they received
salvation. Jesus taught water
baptism. The Greek word for baptism is
baptidzo which means to fully immerse, fully overwhelmed (fully wet). In Matt. 28:19, Jesus instructed us to
baptize believers in water. (Romans 6:4
says, “Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the
dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of
life. Water baptism proclaims that our
“old man” has been buried with Christ, and that we have been raised with him to
new life. It proclaims what happened
when we received salvation! We became
new creatures in Christ Jesus. We were
born again! It is symbolic of the fact that we have been dipped in the blood of
the lamb and raised to “walk in newness of life.” Rejoice and again I say rejoice!
