A year ago today Lily was reborn in the waters of Holy Baptism. We had a little party to commemorate that special day. We sang a song, said a prayer and shared sherbet!
How good it is for all of us to remember our baptism and what God’s word says it gives; forgiveness of sins, deliverance from death and the devil, and eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.
“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.” Romans 6:4
“and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.” Titus 3:21-22
