friends welcome back for our sixth and final episode of this formed book study on father

isaac morales's the bible and baptism the fountain of salvation father good to have you back

one last time great to be here one last time. Appreciate it.

So for this last episode, I thought we kind of could pick up with where we kind of left off

talking about Romans 6 and the way of life that we're called to as baptized Christians.

Do you have any other thoughts about how all Christians,

maybe especially lay people,

can more deeply appreciate and live out their baptism?

Yeah, well, I like the passage that you pointed to in the last episode from Philippians 3,

you know, Philippians 3, chapter 10, that I may know him, verse 10, what did I say?

Chapter?

Oh, well, you knew what I meant.

That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and may share his sufferings,

becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection

from the dead. Suffering, everybody experiences suffering and nobody likes it. But one of the gifts

that Christ gives us through the life of baptism is that that suffering can be transformed

and made into something beautiful. And this actually connects with episode four on the name because it's also an act of worship.

We can turn our suffering into ways of worshiping God, which actually heals us.

If we want to tie it back further to episode two,

Ezekiel 36, right? How he will cleanse us of our idols.

Our idols are cleansed when we worship the one true God.

And baptism introduces us into that life.
