John 3:5 (NIV) Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit
We never fail to celebrate a birthday, but we often forget other important dates in our children's lives.
Three years ago today Gray was reborn as a child of God. At the tender age of 1 day our pastor visited us in the hospital and baptized Gray in the name of the triune God. Through this sacrament the Holy Spirit planted a seed of faith in his heart.
There is nothing more comforting when your child is sick than God's promise that we are saved through faith and knowing that the Holy Spirit has worked through baptism to plant faith in your child's heart.
It's wonderful a job to feed his faith and watch it grow. Does he fully understand it? No. Does that mean it's not there? Certainly not.
Today I especially thank God for my children, His great plan of salvation, and the people who help nurture the faith of our family.
