7 Sermon Passage olossians 2: Therefore, as you received hrist Jesus Lord, so walk him, 7 rooted built up him established faith, just as you were taught, aboundg thanksgivg. The Sacrament ovenant (Infant) Baptism As we read through Word od, it becomes clear that that od s sovereign grace is embraced covenant framework Scripture. By grace alone, od has covenanted with His people that He will have m /for Himself from every nation, tribe, people, language (Rev 7). It is a covenant generally that embraces family solidarity (see Acts 2:39; Acts 16:31; enesis 17:7). As noted elsewhere, every person identified Bible as havg a household present at his or her conversion also had household baptized. Because od s covenant, all hisry marches forward time when od s covenant people will live New Jerusalem a renewed world order enjoyg fully ir relationship with od: y will be His people, od Himself will be ir od (see Rev 21:3). Even day, hrist contues as Mediar new covenant (Heb 8), one Mediar between od man (1 Tim 2). Salvation is covenant salvation: regeneration, justification, adoption, sanctification are covenant mercies. Baptism Lord s Supper, correspondg /replacg old covenant rites circumcision Passover, are covenant ordances. od s law is covenant law, keepg it is truest expression gratitude for covenant grace loyalty our covenant od. An understg this covenant grace guides us through, helps us appreciate, all wonders od s redeemg love. hristians our ological tradition believe that children believers, fant children, are should be cluded as members visible covenant community, church. Why? Because we believe, based upon Bible, that fant children believers have status covenant children refore should be baptized, just as Jewish male fants previously had been circumcised. Aga, why? Because, if fants are deemed members visible covenant community with ir believg parents, it is fittg give m sign covenant status ir place covenant community. Is re somethg magic about water? No. o baptized fants have no obligation make a public pression personal faith Jesus hrist? ertaly, y do. When we celebrate sacrament covenant baptism, we publicly recognize a covenant child through covenant sign baptism as a child believers thus as a member visible church. At same time, we are careful also affirm that neir baptism nor beg child believg parents will suffice make that child contue a member visible church. At some pot, each baptized fant reaches an age where he or she becomes subject obligations covenant, which are faith, repentance, obedience. The outward visible sign baptism is water. As water is poured down on head a child, we are remded cleansg blood Lord Jesus hrist that delivers us from penalty s (1 John 1:7) as well as sanctifyg virtue Holy Spirit deliverg us from power s (Romans 8:2). At some level, at end day, question with regard baptism is this: How do you defe visible church? We believe visible church is made up believers ir children.
