Water Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ: 5

Water baptism is more than a religious tradition. It is a step of faith, obedience, and identification with Jesus Christ.In Water Baptism in Jesus' Name, the fifth book in The New Life Journey series, readers are guided through the biblical meaning and purpose of baptism in a clear, approachable way. Beginning with the teachings of Jesus and continuing through the experience of the early church, this book explores why baptism became an essential part of the response to the gospel.You will discover how baptism is connected to repentance, faith, forgiveness, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the beginning of a new life with God. You will also examine the pattern found throughout the book of Acts, where men and women who believed the gospel responded by being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.This book answers important questions such as: Why should a believer be baptized? What does baptism represent? Why did the apostles baptize in the name of Jesus? What happens when we identify ourselves with Christ through baptism? Is baptism simply a symbol, or is there something deeper taking place?Written especially for new believers and those seeking to understand the Christian faith, Water Baptism in Jesus' Nameavoids unnecessary theological complexity while remaining firmly rooted in Scripture.Baptism is not the finish line of the Christian journey. It is part of the beginning.If you have believed in Jesus Christ and are ready to follow Him, the waters of baptism represent a powerful moment of surrender: leaving the old life behind, identifying with Jesus Christ, and stepping forward into the new life He has called you to live.The New Life Journey is an eight-book discipleship series designed to help readers move step by step from discovering God to understanding the gospel, responding in faith, and growing into a life of committed discipleship.
