Jesus keeps you from falling and pays the bill so he can present you as perfect. The righteousness of Jehovah Tsidkenu can be applied to your sins so that you can declare that the Lord is my righteousness…and it is he that presents me as perfect. I don’t know about you, but to me that is an amazing reason to have hope!

The curtain that separated us from God has been forever removed. He placed his perfect righteousness upon us and restored all who believe in Him to a right relationship with God. Our spiritual restoration has already happened. All you have to do to experience this is to submit your life to the King, to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

If you are a Jesus follower…if you are a Christian…you are part of the Body of Christ. Christianity is not a solo sport…we follow Jesus together, in community, as Paul so beautifully articulates in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. Just as soon as you enter into a community of believers…be it a house church, a small congregation out in the rural areas, or a large suburban church like Colonial, everything we talked about here becomes VERY important.

But in answer to the question, “Why infant baptism?” I will suffice it to say that baptism is less about “me” and more about “we.” Baptism has replaced circumcision as the sign of the Covenant of Grace. And just as the sign of circumcision applied to both infants and adults in the Old Testament, the sign of baptism also applies to both infants and adults in the New Testament.
