WATER BAPTISM

Water Baptism is the next step in this exciting journey of accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

Baptism is the full ‘immersion’ of your body into water. It symbolises Jesus Christ’s burial and resurrection. Baptism represents a believer’s new life in Christ. We bury ‘the old life’ and we rise to walk in a ‘new life’.

Our entrance into the water during baptism identifies us with Christ’s death on the cross, our being immersed into the water identifies with His burial, and our coming out of the water identifies us with His resurrection.

Jesus was baptised by being fully immersed into water. Here, water symbolises the grave and as you are immersed in the water, your old self is dead and buried like Christ. But just as Christ did not stay dead, but rather rose form the grave, as you rise from the water, this signifies that you are now alive in Christ – a new creation.

“We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” – Romans 6:4 NIV
