A Baptized Life

On this day my daughter was baptized. Is baptized. Jesus wrote his name on my daughter, and through her baptism He works forgiveness of her sins, rescues her from death and the devil, and gives her eternal salvation.

And I was there with her in the baptistry. It was a moment I will treasure always.

Jesus said, "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." Mark 16:16

Peter says, "Corresponding to that (Noah and the flood,) baptism now saves you - not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 3:21

Paul writes, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by
the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all
our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." Colossians 2:9-14



Now her baptism also had a bit of humor. As Pastor Mark prepared to dip her backwards, she turned to me and requested a cloth for her face. She took it, dipped it in the water, squeezed it, and placed it on her face. Now she was ready.









Here is the newly baptized girl.


Jesus first came to us as a baby. He became our sacrifice to save us, to forgive us, to do all for us.
