What is Baptism?

See Romans 6:23.

1. Going down under the water shows death.

   ...the wages of sin is death...

   If we couldn't be saved, we would all have to go to Hell because of the bad things we've done.

   Jesus suffered and died on the cross so we can get rid of that old kind of life.

   Please pray and ask God to save you, if you've never done that before.

2. Coming back up out of the water shows everlasting life.

...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus came back to life after He died.

If you believe Jesus, you can have a new kind of life, that never stops, and is full of joy.

Please keep reading the Bible, and doing what it teaches.

A Lion Shall Slay Thee

...because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord...

(From part of 1 Kings 20:36a)

A man was told something a little bit like, Because you haven't obeyed the Lord's voice, as soon as you've gone away from me, a lion will kill you.

And, of course... what do you think?

It did.

The Lesson: Obey the Voice of the Lord.
