Bible Answers on Baptism

Read Acts 16:30-33.

30 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.

Read Acts 22:16.

16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.

Read Galatians 3:27.

27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Jesus did not need to be baptized, because He had no sins to be washed away. But, He knew that we would, so He gave us an example to follow. When we go down into the water of baptism, our sins are washed away, and we die to our old selves. And just as Jesus was raised, so we are raised clean, whole, and new in Him. After we have received our new lives in Him, we are to go and share the good news and invite others to make their decision to follow Jesus and be baptized. Listen! Is the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart and calling you to be baptized?
What are you doing to listen and accept the call of the Holy Spirit to give your life and heart in baptism to God?
Make sure to answer the question and complete the activity on your paper lesson or in a dedicated notebook.
