HEARING, BELIEVED, AND BAPTIZED

Many ignorant of the Truth, upon hearing the Gospel of Salvation preached by ministering vessels of the Holy Spirit, are revived as they receive it by faith and are subsequently baptized (Acts 8:12-13). Hearing, believing, and being baptized represents a fundamental response to the Gospel message, signifying one's faith, submission, and identification with the Body of Christ (Acts 19:4-5, Rom. 10:17).
However, this sequence describes the conversion process of an unbeliever becoming a Christian, highlighting that faith is foundational and baptism is the immediate, obedient response to it (Mark 16:16, Acts 8:37-38).

PRAYER: Dear LORD, Heavenly Father, and Gracious God, thank You for the knowledge and increase of Your Word which builds up my faith daily and keeps me in the Spirit, for Your glory. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for by Your Word, I'm redeemed through faith to live forever in Your presence,
Amen.

From Acts 18:7-8
