Springtime
Baptism
Romans 6 |
AH! Spring at last! Everywhere you look, there are signs of new life with the green haze of budding trees and emerald fields, birds singing and flowers blooming. God surely gave us Spring to reveal His glorious power to bring new life to his creation. Not just to the creation, but to His children as well! No season illustrates a Christian's spiritual rebirth like Spring, with the dead leaves of selfishness, and the sin that wars against our soul, giving way to the blossoms of righteous deeds that glorify God. At the same time, I do not think any Biblical doctrine illustrates this new life in Christ and the obedience of faith in the Gospel, like Paul’s enlightened understanding of Christian baptism given in Romans 6.
