Helpful hints when taking communion to help us remember -
1) Look back
Romans 6:6 “For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that we should no longer be slaves to sin”.

2) Look within
1 Cor 11:28 says, “You should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup.”

3) Look around
Look around and know you are part of something bigger than yourself.

4) Look ahead
(1 Cor. 11.26) “Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”

Baptism -
“All of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead though the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Rom. 6.3-4)

Mark 16.16 says, “He who believes and is baptized shall be saved.”

“Those who accepted His message were baptized, and about 3000 were added to their number that day.” (Acts 2.41) “But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” (Acts 8.12)

Baptism is how the Bible says to give myself to God, And if you haven’t your missing out on what it means to be buried with Christ and to give myself publicly to him. Jesus says “If you confess me before men I will confess you before the father.”
