This topic will help parents think through the important question of baptizing their kids: when, why, and where.
Key Points:
- Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward change (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- Baptism does not save anyone.
- Baptism is an act of obedience to God.
- The Bible does not give a precise age.
- Keep talking with your kids about the gospel of Jesus Christ. They should be able to articulate faith in Jesus in their own words.
Quote This:
Ephesians 2:8-9 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
