When we show our commitment to the Father by surrendering ourselves in humble 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). But when look at our lives, heart and soul, are you fully understanding the act of baptism? Are you continuing to learn what being baptized does and does not mean to you? Please do not think that baptism will remove temptations from your life. Nor will it solve all of life’s problems. It alone does not assure eternal salvation (“once saved, always saved”). Baptism is necessary in order to be saved, but there is also trust and obedience.

When you think no one is watching, do you step in, step up, or step away from being a Christian? You need to be obedient to God’s will, that is “turn from darkness to light and from the dominions of Satan to God.”
