Born of Water and the Spirit
Baptism is a Sacrament which cleanses us from original sin, makes us Christians, children of God, and heirs of heaven.
1894 Baltimore Catechism
Our Lord tied the forgiveness of sins to faith and Baptism: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved.” Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ, who died for our sins and rose for our justification, so that “we too might walk in newness of life.
Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 977
“For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.”
1Corinthians 12:13
