Baptism Day

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”  -Romans 10:9

Ford has loved the Lord for such a long time now.  He has been so inquisitive and asked deeper questions that I could even think of.   On July 15, he asked Jesus to come into his heart, and today, on July 27, he was obedient and followed in believer’s baptism.  

 “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  -Romans 10:13

 “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”  - Luke 18:17

 I don’t think I have ever seen anyone more excited about asking Jesus to come into their heart and follow with baptism.  Ford has been ecstatic.  He has been counting down the days.  He has been asking questions.  He wanted to know who all would be there to see him being baptized.

Ford and Brother Chris

Today was such a special day for our family.  We all pray for our children to be healthy and to grow up to be respectful adults, but we should be focusing on their eternal home.  It brings me the greatest pleasure to know that Ford Lamar’s name is written in the Book of Life and he will be in Heaven for eternity.  He said he’s ready to go now!
