Identification Please
Matthew 28:16-20 (NLT)
16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! 18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Command >> You identify with Christ >> Sign >> Glorifies God
Acts 18:8
Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and everyone in his household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also heard Paul, became believers, and were baptized.
“They supplement the Word of God by divinely authorized dramatic images.”
-John Frame, Systematic Theology, Page 1061
Romans 6:3-4
Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
Comfort >> Christ identifies with you >> Stamp >> Good for you
1 John 5:1-3
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. 2 We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments. 3 Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
Cue >> Church identifies with you >> Separation >> Good for the Church
Acts 2:41
Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.
Command >> You identify with Christ >> Sign >> Glorifies God
Comfort >> Christ identifies with you >> Stamp >> Good for you
