«Who will believe and be baptized ...»
Recently, a solemn event took place in the «Christ is the Answer» church – water baptism, holy by faith. Six people have made one of the most important steps in their lives.
The festive meeting was accompanied by beautiful singing and inspired sermons of the word of God. After the baptism, Holy Communion took place. The church prayed fervently and blessed those who joined the number of the saved. After that, everyone present had a good time chatting over a festive dinner. The brother and sisters who received water baptism received a certificate certifying their decision, as well as a Bible, flowers and many congratulations. We believe that this memorable day will bring good changes to each of them.
«Water baptism can be compared to marriage. Before a man and a girl form a family, they fall in love, they want to be together to support and help. Similarly, when a person enters into a covenant with God through water baptism, he must love God with all his heart and be eager to serve Him. A reward awaits the devotees: «Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. » (Revelation 2:10) – Pastor Taras Sen.
Jesus Christ has left for us the condition of salvation: «He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. » (Mark 16:16). The Lord loves every person and wants to guide, support, worry, protect, strengthen him all his life. But it depends on him whether she accepts His gift or rejects it. After all, when we admit our sins, repent of them and accept Jesus Christ in our hearts, He cleanses us and makes us His children. It is pleasant when a person makes an important decision to serve God in a clear and good conscience. We pray that the message of the gospel will reach many more hearts. Because only God fills our life with meaning.
Give
All areas of service of the community are carried out through voluntary donations of caring people. The most important thing is not the size of the donation, but the attitude and condition of the heart. God sees our needs and seeks to deprive us of our worries. He also wants to see the love and sacrifice of our grateful hearts. «Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver!» (2 Cor. 9:7).
