From Death to New Life

When we come to God, it's not about becoming better people but dying to our old selves and being transformed. All have sinned and need a Savior to deliver us from our sinful nature. Water baptism symbolizes this death and resurrection with Christ - going under, represents dying with Him, coming up represents new life. As new creations in Christ, we're not just forgiven but completely transformed. Through the Holy Spirit and God's Word, we continue to be changed from glory to glory, experiencing heaven on earth as we embrace our new identity.
