Fundamentally, the sacrament of baptism opens us up to God’s grace and the Christian life. Hence, it is the most fundamental sacrament that initiates us into the divine life of God, the Church, and personal freedom from sin and slavery to Satan.
The Christian baptism is our profound commitment and mission to Christ and his kingdom. It is not just a mere religious ritual or rite of sacred oil, water and words pronouncement. Actually, the sacrament of baptism opens us up to the grace of God and the Christian life.
Baptism is a sacrament of grace! It is a sacrament which cleanses from original sin and actual sin (if baptized as an adolescent or adult), make us children of God and members of the Church.
