Adrian Rogers Love Worth Finding Devotional 31st October 2020

People often ask me, “Why do Baptists immerse people—put them fully under the water—when a new convert to Christ is baptized?”  Because that’s what God’s Word teaches. When you go under the water, that is a picture of your death and burial. When you come up out of the water, that is a picture of your resurrection. “Buried with Him.” “Risen with Him.”

If I died and you took me to the cemetery and sprinkled a few granules of dirt on my head, have you truly buried me? No. The very word “baptism” means to immerse.

Your baptism is a funeral service:  Dead to the old life. Raised to newness of life.  And the devil doesn’t like that. The baptismal is a liquid tomb, and the mourner who comes to that funeral is the devil. Let’s be sure he has plenty to mourn about.
