Waverly Church of Christ

When we show our commitment to the Father by surrendering ourselves in obedience to His directive (Acts 22:16) we willingly submit to baptism by which God works raising us up through faith, just as God raised His Son from the dead (Colossians 2:12). It is the blood of Jesus that washes away sins (Matthew 26:28). We come in contact with that blood by being “buried with Him through baptism into death” (Romans 6:3-4). God, in His wonderful grace, has provided all of mankind a way to be saved: By obeying – and remaining obedient to – His plan to save man. Man’s faith comes in contact with God’s grace at the moment of baptism (Romans 6:3-4). Man must continue to walk in faithful obedience if he wants to continue being cleansed of sin by the gracious blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7). Man’s obedience to God’s entire plan of salvation (which includes baptism) is what saves. Please submit to God’s plan to save you and be
baptized this morning!
