Presentation transcript:

Baptism is about understanding who we are in Christ Jesus – that when He died, I died with Him, when He was buried I was buried with Him and when He rose from the dead I too was raised with Him to New Life – His Eternal Life!

All who receive Jesus Christ should be taught these valuable truths and be encouraged to be baptised in obedience to Christ and as a public testimony to their family and friends that they are now a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Note: New Believers and even non Believers can begin and host a Discovery Group, but all who want to lead a Discovery Group should complete Dynamic Basics and be baptised before they are expected to lead the group. My Baptism is My Public Declaration Note: This session is adapted from the teaching of Watchman Nee from his book, The Normal Christian Life.

Discussion Questions – Turn to the person next to you and ask:  Are you glad that you are God’s New Creation?  What has changed in your life since you became a new creation in Christ?  Are these good changes?  Would you want your friends and family to enjoy these kinds of changes in their lives? Baptism is a way for you to explain to them what has happened to you.

“Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death…” Romans 6:3, 4 What is the significance of these words? (Discuss this question with your partner)

The Grave signifies that we are dead! Our water baptism is our testimony to the fact that we have died – that we have exited from the old life of Adam. Buried With Christ Buried With Christ The Grave “We were therefore buried with him through baptism…” Romans 6:4

Who qualifies for burial? Only the dead! So, if I ask for baptism I proclaim that I am dead and fit only for the grave. Unless our eyes have been opened by God to see that we have died in Christ and been buried with Him, we have no right to be baptized.

The reason we submit ourselves to the waters of baptism is that we have recognized that in God’s sight we have already died. The fact that I have died with Christ is what we are declaring by baptism.

God has already crucified me! But to pass from the old world system into the new world system, I must go through the grave.

Baptism is very important because it affirms that I am indeed cut off from Satan’s kingdom and now I belong to God’s kingdom. It means a definite conscious break with the old way of life.

This is the meaning of Romans 6:2: “We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” Paul says, in effect, “If you plan to continue in the old way of life, why be baptized?” Water baptism clears the way for the new creation by our affirming the burial of the old.

In your Resurrection with Christ you received His life as your life and that is all you need for your life in that new world.

“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death… Why? …in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4

I am alive to God! I am alive to God! I have Christ’s life in me! I have Christ’s life in me! I am a partaker of God’s I am a partaker of God’s divine nature! 2 Peter 1:4 divine nature! 2 Peter 1:4 I am Buried with Christ I am Risen with Christ

“If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in resurrection.” Romans 6:5

I am, “baptized into his death”, (because I am in Christ) but… His resurrection enters into me, (because Christ is in me) imparting to me a new life. His Life is grafted into me – my life now comes from and is His Life in me!

Christ’s Life = Eternal Life Christ’s Life = Eternal Life Eternity Future Heaven Hell Eternity Present Buried Where is Christ? I am in Christ! – Christ is in me! Where are You?

‘New Birth’ results when I receive His life as my life at Salvation. It is not that I clean up or change my natural life - not at all; rather it is that another life, a life altogether new, altogether Divine (2 Peter 1:4), has become my life.

The life of Jesus is the only life that could ever please God and He has implanted His life into millions of believer’s world wide. Jesus lives His Eternal Life in Me!

Through the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ that old world has, “been crucified to me, and I to the world”. Galatians 6:14

Baptism does not save me. I must receive Jesus Christ as my Saviour! My baptism is my public testimony to what has already been done by Christ.

 Do you have any questions?  Have you been baptised as a Believer?  Do you want to be baptised?  How will having the knowledge of this session enable you to live differently this week and the rest of your life?  What will you do this week to demonstrate that you are dead to this world system and are a new creation in Christ?  The answer is: Let Christ do whatever he wants through you!

 Would you like to be baptised?  If so, then talk to your Pastor or Discovery Group leader and ask to be baptised.  Let Christ do whatever He wants through you this week!  Watch for ways Jesus lived through you this week.
