Baptism gives you a family

Baptism is not merely a childhood memory or a pretty ceremony. It introduces you into a new life: a child of God, united to Christ, and a member of a family larger than your tastes or borders. Remembering it changes how you live. You do not walk alone, nor do you belong solely to your results, wounds, or moods. There is a deeper identity sustaining you. Being baptized is also a call. If you are a child, learn to live as a child; if you have brothers and sisters, learn to treat them as such.
