1 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | srprimeaux | 75473 | ||
Water baptism saves us in the sense that it is an obedient expression of our repentance and faith in Christ and of our commitment to come out of the world. It is our confession and pledge that we belong to Christ and have died and risen with Him (Rom. 6:3-5; Gal. 3:27; Col. 2:12; Acts 2:38-39). Note the comparison with the flood in 1 Peter 3:20: just as Noah's observing God's instructions regarding the flood was a testimony to his faith before the flood, so going through the water of baptism is a testimony to our faith that brought salvation through Christ before we were baptized. In Christ, SRP |

2 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | disciplerami | 75480 | ||
Hi SRP, Do you know that the water Baptism 'that now saves you' is the ANTITYPE of the water that Noah was brought safely through? Noah's salvation is a perfect example of Salvation by Grace THROUGH Faith. God provided the instructions or directions for salvation, but Noah had to build the ark. God's grace saved eight people who had the faith to get in the boat. The ANTITYPE of that is the Baptism Jesus commanded in Matthew 28 and Mark 16, water baptism. Good day. |
