'I Am His' (pt 2)

Yes! I am 'His' and 'He' is mine!!
But wait a minute…thought we were talking about exchanging marital vows by the pool? What was I doing inside the pool then?…
GOTCHA!!! I’m neither married nor engaged, nor anything close to that…=p

It was my BAPTISM DAY! The day I declared to the world; my life belongs to Christ. Now here’s the Question, “Why do we need to get baptised when we’ve accepted Christ as our saviour? Baptism is just a picture, it does not save us”, many may ask. However, you ought to also understand that:

Baptism = The Personal Obedience to Christ.

Baptism is a clear command of Christ (Matt 28) and of His disciples (Acts 2). It is a command, not an option; the command must be obeyed. It is only the disobedient who are not baptised (Luke 7:29-30). Baptism is the first expression of our obedience to Christ and our willingness to hand over our lives to Him. Not being baptised would not prevent the salvation, but is being done as a public act of obedience to God and to the local church.

Submergence (down into the water) = crucified with Christ marks the death of oldself & sin =P

Emergence (out from the water) – marks the newness in life & alive in Christ =) two sisters got baptised...hallelujah! praise the Lord~*
giving thanks to the Lord~*
And the journey with the Lord truly begins...
