Baptism

Baptism is NOT water only but water used together with God’s word and by His command.

Go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Martin Luther in the Small Catechism

In Baptism God announces a Divine YES! Baptism is one of two sacraments in the Lutheran church, instituted by God’s command (Matthew 28:19). Baptism is a gift that God wants to freely give; it is a gift of God that creates new being. Luther’s Large Catechism says that “baptism is not a work that we do, but it is a treasure that God gives us and that faith grasps.” Baptism is one of the great joys of a worshipping community. We celebrate this gift in daily remembrance of our baptism in that we recall that through daily repentance and forgiveness we are free to live abundantly in Christ.
