Mark 16 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

After commissioning the disciples to evangelize the world, Jesus made an important statement: ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” Baptism is and outward indication of an inward work of grace. There should be no reservation on the part of a believer to be baptized. It’s a public declaration that someone has chosen Christ as their personal Savior. Christ Himself was baptized by John, His cousin. He declared, “This fulfills all righteousness.”

You are buried in the waters of baptism and you rise to walk in newness of life.
