Rescued and Righteous

Just as Noah was rescued through a flood from a world that would not acknowledge God; just as Israel was rescued through the sea from bondage and slavery in Egypt, so to are believers in the New Covenant rescued from death and slavery through the waters of baptism. God has given us a sign of rescue and righteousness, of freedom and purity in our baptism. The seal that we have received His promised and patiently waited for salvation.
