BAPTISM THAT NOW SAVES YOU ALSO

May 22- Start Your Day Right Devotion

1 Peter 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also – not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

BAPTISM THAT NOW SAVE YOU ALSO

​Water baptism itself will not bring spiritual salvation (Acts 2:38), but it is a clear instruction given in connection with forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:36-38; 3:19). We are actually saved by what water baptism symbolizes – Christ’s death, burial and resurrection and our identification with Christ in these experiences (Romans 6:4). But, at times, the symbol and the reality are so closely linked in Scripture that the symbol of baptism is sometimes used to refer to the reality of salvation (Acts 2:38; 22:16; Galatians 3:27). Baptism is part of salvation in the sense that it is an outward sign and public testimony of our repentance (turning from sin and toward God; Matthew 3:2). It is our public confession and pledge that we belong to Christ and have identified with His death in that we have now died to sin’s control and influence (Romans 6:11). We also identify with Him in His resurrection because He has given us a new life (Romans 6:3-5; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:38-39). Notice the comparison of water baptism to the flood of Noah’s time (1 Peter 4:2). Just as Noah’s obedience to God’s instructions was evidence of His saving faith even before the flood, so being baptized in water is a testimony to our faith in Christ that brought salvation before we were baptized. Acts 22:16.
