• Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment, and now we can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God through faith in Jesus.
• Baptism is the way we get connected to the benefits Jesus won on the cross.
• As saved people, we are called by God to live as disciples of Jesus and lead others to be disciples of Jesus.
