Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus." When we are baptized we are, as Paul shared with the Ephesians, baptized into the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The key word in this is 'into.' When we are baptized into the name of Christ we are united with Christ. And when we are united with Christ we receive the blessings Christ has received from God: son/daughtership with God, eternal life, the Holy Spirit, etc. Christ has a very special relationship with God, and we are baptized into his name we receive the same blessings. We all, in being united with Christ, are called sons and daughters of God, are given the gift of eternal life, are blessed with God's presence in our lives. Remember you baptism into the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
