BAPTISM


Today we attend to one of the Filipino's baby baptism. In Catholic church baptism is one of the Seven sacrament that we all go through. It is usually given when you are still a baby.

The sacrament of baptism is one of the most wonderful thing that ever happen in someone's life in my religion it means more than being sprinkled with water on one's head and receiving a Christian name.

Through baptism we erased all the traces of the original sin that we inherited from Adam and Eve from disobeying GOD. It gives a person new life through Jesus, it brings the person back to GOD, but there is one thing baptism doesn't change that is the physical body of the person and its worldly inclinations toward sin, the body continues to be weak in nature desiring to commit sin because of that there is a constant spiritual and worldly battle within the person.

Through the sacrament of baptism in the name of the blessed trinity, the Christian has become a new creation, he becomes pure in the GOD's eye he has become suitable as a Temple of the Holy Spirit for GOD to dwell within him as a Christian.
