How can you have any assurance that you are a child of God?

Baptism…that’s how. 

Check out the great post concerning baptism and the assurance that God wants you to have in yours, over at David’s blog:

  Who does the baptising?

If we do it, then how can we trust in it?

If God does it, then can’t it be fully trusted?

Does anything really happen in baptism, anyway?

 

Do you feel like you are a Christian and strong in the faith one day…and then the next day or week, you have almost forgotten about Jesus and wonder just how much of a Christian you really are?

Baptism is a topic that often flies under the radar, so we like to bring it out in the open every once in awhile.

Thanks to David over at ‘Five Pint Lutheran’ for bringing it to the fore yet once again.

Here’s another good one on the assurance of your election:
