2021 07 18 - Pastor Jim Rhodes - Three Life-Changing Decisions - Part 2 - Believer's Baptism - Sermon Videos

In Today's sermon, Pastor Jim Rhodes expands on this 3 part series with a review of salvation. He reminds us of the new life we live in Christ should not be marred with sin. We are to die to sin as Christ died for us, and we are made alive in Him as He was raised from the dead. Christ's love compels us to be obedient to Him. After all, it was His priceless, perfect blood that purchased us from sin and death. We are now His own - bought and paid for with His blood. Since the cross was not a casual experience, so we should not be casual about our spiritual walk with God. Baptism is the expression of gratitude and an expression of loyalty to Jesus Christ. It is our public declaration that we will live our lives for God, and a commitment to live a life worthy of Christ. We should not be ashamed of the Gospel, or our life in Christ. The ordinance of Baptism does not save us; it declares that we are saved.
