He exalts Christ. He convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He calls men to the Savior and effects regeneration. He bestows gifts on the believers by which we serve God through the church. He seals the believers unto the day of redemption.
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man.
It is freely offered to all who will accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense, salvation includes regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. It is the act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life and the resurrection to walk in the newness of life.
