Big Picture: Without baptism, we cannot participate in the grace that
comes from the resurection. While water is the most common physical
meidum of baptism, any baptism, wether by water or not, is official
and essential to our spiritual journey. Almost all holy actions that
disciples everywhere perform, could be considered a baptism if they do
not recieve a physical one. In the first chapter we encountered
origional sin, and through baptism the stain of which is removed.
through the baptism we send out satan, and enter God's kinngdom set up
in the Old Testament covanents covered In chapter two. In chapter
three jesus set an example for us to follow one of which was baptism.
Christ saved us by sanctifying the practice of baptism as we learned
in chapter four. In chapter five we realize that through baptism we
become one leap closer to christ.
This analysis is not just the restatments of facts. This analysis takes into account the nesscessity of baptism and how it effects ecerything. It also connects the batism to the chapters in the course we are on. This matters because of how impotant baptism is.
