Baptism is the first step of obedience for the new believer in Christ. Be sure to take this blessed step of obedience . I have never known one Christian to grow in Christ or to be blessed of God who did not obey God in believer's baptism. Our first motive then is obedience to God's command. The second motive is love for Jesus Christ.
Love has no meaning unless it is put into action.
If we are really saved and we love the Lord we will not hesitate to follow the Lord in Baptism as soon as possible as a proof of our love. The third motive is for our personal benefit. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Bible says after he was baptized that he went on his way rejoicing.
