Baptism Saves
The same water that makes flowers to
bloom, crops to grow and quenches the thirst of every human alive upon
this earth, also has a greater use than all of these. God used water to
save. It saved Noah and his family, it saved Israel when passing through
the red sea, and it saves us today through baptism. If you desire to
live forever in the presence of God, come to the one who will give you
the water of life freely, by your obedience to the gospel of Christ. Baptism saves!

(The Gospel) 1 Cor 15:1-4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, NKJV
