Old Adam VS Baptism

05/20/22 • 41 min

Episode 4 confronts our former way of functioning, known in scripture as the “old Adam.” The sinful flesh refuses to stay quiet as it relates to human efforts, merit, and works based living. It is God Himself who silences the old Adam by gifting us salvation. We can not earn our way into God’s good graces. Baptism is the means whereby God kills the old Adam and raises us to new life, in Christ.

Baptism Is God's Work

In episode 3 FLAME tackles the reality that baptism is a work of God not a work of human hands. This demonstrated by reading Ephesians 5:25-27 & 1 Peter 3:20-21. He kicks the episode off by visiting his song, He Delivers from the latest EP, Word And Water and explains key portions of the lyrics. Finally, he walks through the next section of the book, Free to Be: A handbook to Luther’s Small Catechism. Happy digging!

Baptism's Daily Power

In episode 5, FLAME walks listeners through the implications of baptism's daily impact. A favorite line from the readings is, "God sent his Spirit to you in your Baptism to do just that--to kill the old Adam in you, to raise up the new you day by day, to keep you and make you what you will be." This episode also visits the popular song from Word And Water, The Patristics. As mentioned, the book containing the curation of quotes from the Apostolic Fathers and the Patristics is titled, What the Bible Teaches About Baptism & How the Earliest Christians
