WORD OF THE DAY - 04 February 2010

Baptism, which is a representation of that, now saves you (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 3:21)

Так и нас ныне подобное сему образу крещение, не плотской нечистоты омытие, но обещание Богу доброй совести, спасает воскресением Иисуса Христа, (1-e Петра 3:21 Russian)

Того образ, хрищення не тілесної нечистости позбуття, але обітниця Богові доброго сумління, спасає тепер і нас воскресенням Ісуса Христа, (1 Петрово 3:21 Ukrainian)

Most Holy and Righteous God, our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for the precious gift of life on this new day that blazes with the dazzling display of your presence that is evident in the smallest details of this created world. Help us to teach lost sinners, that in addition to faith, repentance and confession, they must obey Jesus Christ command to be baptized. Give us courage not to minimize this teaching of our Lord. Give us wisdom not to make apologies for any command of Christ, but help us to teach and live in such a way that people will see the beautiful hope of the resurrection in us. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
