What Is Baptism, And Why Do We Do It?

In a message of baptism's true meaning, Pastor Cody challenges us to move beyond mere religious ritual to embrace its profound spiritual significance. Through the touching story of a young boy wanting to be "alphabetized" with his brother, he illustrates how easy it is to misunderstand this sacred ordinance. Drawing from rich biblical examples—from Jesus' baptism in the Jordan to the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion—Pastor Cody explains that baptism is a believer's public declaration of faith, symbolizing our death and resurrection with Christ. He emphasizes that while baptism is an act of obedience commanded by Jesus, it's not a requirement for salvation but rather a joyful celebration of one's decision to follow Christ.
