As Christians we are brand new people on the inside. The Holy Spirit gives us new life and we are not the same anymore. We are not reformed, rehabilitated or re-educated -- we are recreated (new creations). When we placed our faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we did not merely turn over a new leaf, we began a new life under a new Master. John 3:3; Romans 6:4-12, 7:6; Galatians 6:20; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 1:1, 2:10

We were all created to exist forever. We will exist eternally either in union with God through forgiveness and salvation or separated from God by sin.

Those who do not have Christ will spend eternity separated from God in Hell. John 3:16; Romans 6:23, Matthew 23:33, 25:41; John 14:1-4; Revelation 20:14-15

Baptism (by immersion) is a one-time act of obedient identification with Jesus as Lord. A believer is baptized as an outward sign of his or her conscious confession of repentance and faith to Jesus Christ. It is a beautiful picture of the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Jesus Christ. Mark 1:9; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:38-39, 2:41; Colossians 2:12

Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32
