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).
Our conversation will basically revolve around the concept of Voice Recognition. First and foremost, we need to be aware that God is actually still speaking and secondly we need to learn how to recognize his voice when He is speaking us. To say it in biblical terms, we need to learn how to “incline our ears to the words of his mouth.”
Isaiah 55:3 ESV
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
hear, that your soul may live;
Proverbs 4:20-21 ESV
20 My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
Proverbs 22:17-19 ESV
17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge,
18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
if all of them are ready on your lips.
19 That your trust may be in the Lord,
I have made them known to you today, even to you.
