Come Alive in 2025

Proverbs 1:7
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

As we step into 2025, let us awaken to the life God has called us to live. Without Christ, we are spiritually dead. Through repentance, baptism, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we come alive in Him. Baptism is not merely a ritual; it is the outward sign of an inward transformation. Even Jesus, our perfect example, humbled Himself to be baptized, showing us the path to righteousness and life.

Supporting Scriptures:

• John 3:5: “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
• Romans 6:3-4: “We are buried with Him by baptism into death… so we also should walk in newness of life.”
• Acts 2:38: “Repent, and be baptized… and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
• Matthew 3:13-17: Jesus was baptized by John to fulfill all righteousness, setting the standard for us.

Reflection:

Baptism is where spiritual death ends and spiritual life begins. It is through baptism and the Holy Spirit that we “Come Alive.” This year, may we embrace this life-changing truth. Let us walk in newness of life. Christ was raised from the dead to the glory of the Father.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your plan of salvation. Teach us to walk in obedience, embracing the life You offer through baptism and the Spirit. Awaken our hearts to live fully for Your glory in 2025 and beyond. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
