What Baptism Means (5/5/24)

Southside church of Christ in Mt. Pleasant Texas

“Baptism is necessary for salvation” has been the thesis for many sermons. But those sermons need a sequel. Scripture has more to say about baptism than “God said you have to do it.” Baptism isn’t just necessary, it’s deeply meaningful. Baptism means…

1. I’m cleansed of sin (1 Cor 6; Eph 5)
2. I’m consecrated for service (Heb 10)
3. I’m not the person I was, nor will be (Rom 6)
4. I’m saved from God’s judgment (1 Pet 3)
