Why You Should Be Baptized.
Happy Sunday to you! Here's a clear, heart-touching, and youth-friendly message to teenagers and young people about why and how to get baptized —
🕊️ WHY SHOULD YOU GET BAPTIZED?
1. Jesus did it — and told us to do the same.
In Matthew 3:13-17, Jesus Himself was baptized — not because He had sins, but to fulfill all righteousness. Then in Matthew 28:19, He told us:
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…”
So when you get baptized, you're walking in the footsteps of Jesus.
2. It's a public declaration of your faith.
Baptism is like putting on a jersey that says, “I belong to Jesus!”
It shows the world that you've accepted Him as your Saviour and are ready to live for Him — boldly and unashamed.
3. It's symbolic of a new life.
Romans 6:4 says:
“We were buried with Him through baptism into death… so that we too may live a new life.”
When you're baptized, it's like burying your old self and rising again as a brand-new person — forgiven, loved, and transformed.
💧 HOW DO YOU GET BAPTIZED?
1. First, believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Lord.
Acts 2:38 says:
“Repent and be baptized…”
That means you make a decision to turn from sin and trust Jesus with your life.
2. Talk to a pastor or church leader.
Let someone who teaches the Bible guide you. They’ll help you understand baptism and prepare you — whether it’s a class, conversation, or just sharing your heart.
3. Get baptized in water — fully immersed.
Most biblical baptisms happened in rivers or large pools. It’s a full-body experience symbolizing total cleansing, like starting fresh.
4. Keep growing in your faith.
Baptism is a beginning, not an end. Afterward, stay close to God by praying, reading the Bible, and surrounding yourself with godly friends.
❤️ A Final Word to You
If you’re young and wondering if it’s your time — let me say this:
Yes, it is.
You don’t have to wait until you're "perfect." Baptism is not about being ready to impress God — it's about responding to His love and saying:
“Lord, I’m Yours now and forever.”
Don’t delay.
Don’t be shy.
Be bold for Jesus.
The world is watching for real light. Be that light. 🌟
