Luther’s Small Catechism. What benefits does baptism give? Too many to count!

Holy Baptism was not only an event in the past but showers us with grace throughout our lives. We are united with Him by the water and the Word, wrapped in forgiveness & eternal salvation. He provides us with a new identity, dying to sin and rising to new life as His new creation (Romans 6 & Colossians 2). This baptismal identity reminds us that as the LORD came to us in the water, He never leaves His people. “He because I could not pay it, gave my full redemption price. Do I need earth’s treasures many? I have one more than any. That brought me salvation free, Lasting to eternity!” Lutheran Service Book 594
