Last weekend was a special occasion where 11 members of our church made the life-changing decision to be baptised. It was a touching service, as each individual publicly declared their faith in Jesus. Not only was it beautiful to witness the unity and joy among those being baptised and their families, but also the atmosphere of celebration and renewal, as our Remar church family grew closer in faith and support for one another.
Each person being baptised shared a heartfelt testimony, reflecting on their journey of faith, the struggles they had overcome, and the peace they found in Christ. It was incredible to hear stories of deliverance from addiction, healing from past wounds, and the undeniable power of God’s grace. These testimonies moved many of us who were there, reminding us of the transformative power of Christ’s love.
In Christ, we are no longer defined by our past mistakes, addictions, or trauma. We are made new, redeemed, and restored. As we embrace this new identity, we are empowered to walk in freedom, overcoming the challenges that once bound us, and living fully in the abundant life He promises.
For those burdened by trauma and pain, Jesus offers healing and restoration. He understands our suffering, as He, too, endured so much pain for our sake. Isaiah 53:5 reminds us, "By His wounds we are healed."
Through Jesus, we can find comfort in knowing that our brokenness can be mended. As we walk with Him, He gradually replaces our pain with peace, our sorrow with joy, and our fear with hope.
“The old has passed away- behold, the new has come!”
