1: Remission of Sins (Acts 2:38)
We begin with the profound blessing of remission of sins. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, we are offered forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Through repentance and baptism, our sins are washed away, and we are welcomed into the family of God.
2: Cleansing in the Blood of Christ (Romans 6:3-4)
The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As we are baptized into His death and raised to walk in newness of life, we experience the transformative power of His blood, which purifies us and sets us free from the bondage of sin.
3: Newness of Life as a New Creature (Romans 6:5)
In Christ, we are made new creatures, born again to a living hope. The old has passed away, and behold, all things are made new. Through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, we are empowered to live victoriously and walk in the fullness of His grace.
4: Clothed with Christ (Galatians 3:26-27)
Through baptism, we are clothed with Christ Himself. We are no longer identified by our past sins or shortcomings but are enveloped in the righteousness of Christ. As His beloved children, we bear His likeness and reflect His glory to the world.

5: Sanctified and Purified (Ephesians 5:26)
God, in His mercy, sanctifies and purifies His people, setting them apart for His divine purpose. Through the cleansing work of His Spirit, He refines us, making us vessels fit for His use. We are called to live holy and blameless lives, reflecting the character of our Savior.
6: Adopted as Sons and Daughters of God (Galatians 3:26-27)
In Christ, we are adopted into the family of God and become heirs of His kingdom. As sons and daughters of the Most High, we enjoy the privileges and benefits of being part of His household, receiving His love, guidance, and protection.
7: Entrance into the Kingdom (John 3:4)
Through faith and baptism, we enter into the kingdom of God and partake in its blessings and promises. We are no longer strangers or aliens but citizens of the heavenly kingdom, destined for eternal life with our Lord and Savior.
8: Possession of a Good Conscience (1 Peter 3:21)
The act of baptism is not merely an outward symbol but a pledge of a good conscience toward God. As we confess our faith and submit to His will, we experience the peace and assurance that come from knowing that our sins are forgiven and our conscience is clear.
9: Membership in the Body of Christ (Acts 2:47)
Through baptism, we are added to the body of Christ, the Church. We become part of a community of believers, united in love and fellowship, and committed to serving one another in humility and grace.
10: Salvation through Faith and Baptism (Mark 16:16)
Finally, we rejoice in the ultimate blessing of salvation, which is offered to all who believe and are baptized. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we receive the gift of eternal life and are assured of our place in His kingdom forevermore.
