I am now official and traceable! My new Alberta Wild Rose Country vehicle licence plate number is BSB-2390. Multiple steps were required to induct me into the Alberta motor vehicle hall of fame. OPI (Out of Province Inspection) plus signing on with a new Insurance Agency plus a new Vehicle Registration Certificate and then came the Licence Plate. Oh, I also joined the CAA (Canadian Automotive Association) – someone in the one of the offices I visited said that would be good – I forget why it would be good! I learned that my windshield is not covered – so have to figure out what to do about that (and stay clear of flying rocks in the meantime)! There are somethings that are common to the population of our country should we desire the privilege of operating a vehicle.
We become Christians by the Grace of God through faith in Christ, not of works or our good deeds. Yet, a God-directed public witness that we are “on the road” with Christ is that of baptism.
One of the privileges of being a follower of Christ is water baptism. We become Christians by the Grace of God through faith in Christ, not of works or our good deeds. Yet, a God-directed public witness that we are “on the road” with Christ is that of baptism. Coming to the waters of baptism we confess our faith. Into the waters of immersion we identify with His death, burial and resurrection. Coming out of the waters of baptism we declare our commitment to walk in obedience and “newness of life.” What a meaningful and transitional day when we are baptized! On a personal and public journey with our Lord which one day shall end in His Presence – face-to-face!
