Romans 6:3-4

Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

The title of last issue's "Positive, Encouraging & Inspirational Messages" was obviously taken from Acts 2:38-39, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins." Both last and today's scripture reading make it clear that each and everyone of us who have Jesus as their Lord and Savior, need to be baptized, whether you believe it is a prerequisite of salvation or not!

God Bless You!
