Baptism Is Necessary

Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST were baptized into his death?

4 THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

☝ This is why baptism is important and necessary.  👇

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Baptism is a crucifixion of the old sinful ways. When you're baptized, all your past sins are now 'buried' in that watery 'grave' of baptism.  Not to be resurrected again.  Don't take back on that Old sinful nature after you've buried it by baptism. 

Jesus taught in Mark 16:16 "he that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved."

Jesus also taught in John 3 that unless were BORN AGAIN of water (Baptism in Jesus' name - baptized into Christ) and of Spirit ( receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost) we CAN NOT ENTER the Kingdom of God. (Verse 5) Read that again: we CAN NOT ENTER the Kingdom of God UNLESS we're BORN AGAIN. Jesus proceeded to say don't be amazed that He's telling us we MUST be Born Again. (Verse 7)

Jesus answered and said, "if a man love Me, he will keep My Words." (John 14:23)

Will you keep His words to be born again of water and of Spirit? 

Jesus wants you to be saved.  He's shown us the way. Don't delay.
