Water baptism symbolizes the believer’s total trust in and total reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a commitment to live obediently to Him. It also expresses unity with all the saints (Ephesians 2:19), that is, with every person in every nation on earth who is a member of the Body of Christ (Galatians 3:27–28). Water baptism conveys this and more, but it is not what saves us. Instead, we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works (Ephesians 2:8–9). We are baptized because our Lord commanded it: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
All of us are going to encounter seasons of silence - times when God is silent. Moments where God does not seemed to be talking. We've all had these moments.
There are times where God moves into our lives with power, answers our prayers and wins our trust. And then there are these seasons when chaos and darkness descend. It’s like we're in a spiritual desert where an arid wind blows and leaves our souls cracked and parched. We pray. We cry out to God but he goes silent. He seems absent from our life.
Is it just us or has it ever seemed to you that God was playing hard to get?
