Baptism. I registered for the next baptism service at OCC last night. In previous blogs, I have explained my baptism as a youth at Hope Lutheran Church. This is a really significant step for me in my walk with God. This will be the first time that I will be baptized through submersion. Baptism in water is an important next step for me since surrendering my life to Jesus Christ. First, it is a public acknowledgment that I am a Christian. Second, it symbolizes Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, and proclaims my new identity in Christ. Third, it demonstrates the fact that Christ has forgiven me and “washed” away my sins. Finally, it is an act of obedience to Christ. I am excited and looking forward to Weds night. My wife, Tammy, and son, Bobby, also registered for baptism Weds.
Awesome!
