Baptism

Why is Baptism
so important?
Understand first
it is My gift
nothing you were owed.
Total Free gift.
Gift of life
your sin buried

Then tis sign
of My grace
anointing you
to be with Me.
Last, it is sign
of Holy Spirit
come into your life
to make you My temple.

This divine gift is
come in human form.
It is real and true
not mere empty symbol.
This gift alone
is not sufficient.
Will you accept it
and live?
(Matt 3:13-17, Acts 10: 34-37)
