Baptism

. . . having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.  (Colossians 2:12-14, NASB)

Baptism brings us together with Jesus.  It’s a picture of His death and resurrection.  When we go down into the waters we are buried with Him.  When we come back up we are resurrected with Him.  Paul says that we “were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.”  So it’s through our faith in God that renews us! 

Further, Paul tells us that when we were dead in our sins, then God gave us life again through Jesus.  It’s through our faith in Jesus that saves us from our sins, and from God’s wrath.

Finally, Paul says that we had a certificate of debt that was wiped out when Jesus hung on the cross.  God “canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.”  So by accepting Jesus’ sacrifice, God forgives us from all of our sins! 

What a God we serve!  He wants to have a relationship with us.  He loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to the earth to die for us!
