A New Creation

More about A New Creation

As we gather to witness this baptism, we celebrate the profound significance of this sacred rite. Baptism is a powerful symbol of the transformative journey with Christ.

In the waters of baptism, we see a metaphor of the cleansing of our souls from sin. Through this act, we die to our old selves and are reborn into new life in Christ.

As the apostle Paul eloquently describes, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)

No longer bound by the past, the one being baptized emerges as a new creation, filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered to live according to God's perfect will.

Today, let us rejoice in this new beginning, praying that our friend/loved one will continue to walk closely with the Lord, allowing His Spirit to guide their steps and shape them into the person He has called them to be.
