Yesterday we had our fist baptisms at Cornerstone Carterville. It is so exciting to see God move in the lives of people as they took a step of obedience in getting baptized. Here are some reasons I love baptisms.
1. Baptism is a testimony to the power of the atonement.
2. Millions of people have gone before us in baptism and probably millions more to come.
3. Baptism is a picture of Jesus life death a resurrection.
4. The person being baptized believes that number 3 was for them to the Glory of God.
5. I am reminded that my sins are washed away.
6. I am reminded that God has regenerated me!
7. In baptism we recognize that our family is growing.
8. We get to worship God and not the obedient person.
By God’s grace I pray I get to be a part of thousands more in my lifetime.
