On Sunday evening around 1800 I had the privledge of baptizing SGT James Sokolowski in the waters of the Red Sea. James came to Christ less than two weeks ago. By the grace of God, through the faith he placed in Jesus Christ, James recieved the gift of salvation and eternal life. Obediently and courageously James shared his testimony prior to his baptism. James has now been buried with Christ by baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so he to can walk in a new way of life (Romans 6:4).
When James was united by faith with Jesus, as his baptism symbolizes, Christ's death and burial became his, as it does for every believer.
Praise the Lord!
