I watched a video titled, ‘be baptized immediately’.

I was holding off watching it since I thought I know much about baptism and the fact that it should be done immediately as a common sense.



However, as it was about to finish, I was shedding tears so hard. Only then did I come to realize its great and significant meaning though the baptism to be given immediately is a common sense as I thought.





Baptism means we immerse all our sins in the past by water just as Jesus was crucified on the cross and went into the grave. Also, it represents ours sinful body is destroyed and born a new life again just like Jesus’ resurrection.



For these sinners who were destined to eternally die, committing sin of death against God, the way to participate in God’s salvation work was opened up, which is the baptism ceremony.




Baptism ceremony seems to be done very simply but it was not made that simply at all.





God Almighty, who is the Creator was mocked by His creatures, taking all the pains of ripping His flesh away with stick when walking on the road to Golgotha. He even endured all the hardships and persecution, putting on the crown of thorns, drinking the wine of gall, and even having His side stabbed. By doing all His sacrifice, the way of the forgiveness of sin has been safely opened up for us.

Through all the sufferings and hardships, God let us have the forgiveness of sins in an easy way, which is the baptism.



So far, I have been encouraging many friends to get baptism by preaching the words of God. Now I think of how I preached to them and what kinds of thankful minds I had, I feel like it was just a gong sounding without knowing the sacrifice and the love filled in the baptism.





When it comes to ‘baptism’, we’d better thank God, keeping in mind that hidden behind it exists the invisible great of love God, not just considering it is simply to wet entire body.

Realizing we are heavenly sinners, our belief should be full-grown that could understand the earnest mind of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother who are sacrificing for our salvation until now.



With all my heart and mind, I truly give thanks to Heavenly Father who opened up the way for the forgiveness of our sins, and who allowed me to be baptized and become the children of God.
