Have you thought about baptism?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The last commandment that Jesus gave before he ascended into heaven was to believe the gospel and be baptised. Baptism symbolises the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Therefore we “put on” Christ symbolically at baptism, have our sins forgiven and are associated with the covenants of promise. Baptism signals a new way of life for the believer, as he or she endeavours to be like Christ, seeking those things which are spiritual. What is the true, Biblical meaning of baptism? In this thought-provoking and expositional Bible talk, we explore the profound significance of baptism as a commandment from the Lord Jesus Christ himself. This presentation is a powerful examination of why baptism remains essential for salvation, what it truly symbolizes, and how it changes our relationship with God. We delve into the outstanding example of the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8, providing a clear, Scripture-based model for belief and baptism. This talk addresses common questions: What does baptism achieve? Is it simply a ritual, or a life-changing covenant with God? How does it connect us to the promises made to Abraham? Join us for this insightful and inspiring exposition that is as relevant for those considering this vital step as it is for those who seek a deeper understanding of their own baptism. Discover the wonderful hope and forgiveness found in this foundational act of faith. **Video Chapters / Timestamps:** 00:00 - Introduction and Opening Prayer 02:05 - Scripture Reading: Acts 8:26-40 05:21 - The Last Commandment of Jesus 07:11 - The Origin of Baptism with John the Baptist 10:50 - The Meaning and Symbolism of Baptism 13:20 - The Example of the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8) 17:19 - Preaching Jesus from Isaiah 53 & 56 20:27 - Belief and Baptism: The Essential Connection 25:10 - Another Example: The Philippian Jailer (Acts 16) 28:12 - What Baptism Achieves: Identity and Covenant 32:57 - Life After Baptism: A New Way of Living 35:03 - Why Baptism is Still Essential Today 37:19 - A Direct Appeal: Reasons to Be Baptized 42:23 - Conclusion and Closing Prayer [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nusy6eqzzRU[/embedyt] **📖 Bible Verses Featured in This Talk:** 🙏 Acts 8:26-40 📜 Mark 16:15-16 📜 Matthew 28:19-20 📜 Matthew 3:5-6, 13-15 📜 Luke 7:29-30 📜 Romans 6:3-5 📜 Isaiah 56:3-8 📜 Acts 16:30-33 📜 Galatians 3:27-29 📜 Ephesians 2:12-13 📜 Acts 22:16 📜 Acts 2:38 📜 1 John 1:9 📜 Colossians 3:1-5 **Tags:** Bible Talk, Baptism, Christadelphian, Bible Study, Christian Faith, New Testament, Salvation, Acts 8, Ethiopian Eunuch, Bible Teaching, Gospel, Discipleship, Scripture, Bible Truth, Jesus Christ, Biblical Baptism We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
