The Grace of Baptism

From Confessing Evangelical, John H. writes about the miracle of his son's upcoming baptism...

"Here's what will - God willing - be happening to Matthew on Sunday morning. As the water is poured onto him by Christ's minister declaring Christ's Words, Matthew will:

become a disciple of Jesus Christ;

be born again of water and the Spirit;

have his sins forgiven and washed away;

be baptized into Christ, into His death and resurrection;

become a new creation;

put on Christ;

be cleansed and sanctified by the washing of water with the word; and

be saved by the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

In a word, he will be saved. Quite a day!"
