Baptism is a sign and seal of God’s covenant with us that He is our God and we are His people. But God’s covenant is not an abstract concept, it is not a secret thing that belongs to God. His covenant is His word of promise guaranteed in Christ’s blood and signed here with water. His covenant is revealed before our ears and eyes. But to merely hear with the ears or see with the eyes is not enough. We must believe with the heart as we look through this sign to the Father who has given it, to the Father who is speaking to us: His Word through water is: You are clean, you are mine through Christ.
