God said to Abraham, "I will be a God to you and to your children after you." Abraham believed His promise and devoted all he had to the Lord, including his family members. In obedience, he practiced circumcision, demonstrating that God's covenant would pass to future generations.
In the New Testament, the promise to bless through faith in God's grace continued, but the sign of the covenant had changed to baptism.
We baptized Pax out of obedience in expectation of God's presence and blessing on our son's life.
As Rankin explained to us, this was like God slipped an engagment ring on Pax's finger and one day Pax will have to make his own decision to walk the aisle and get married.
We were so thankful to have some of our family (2 grandmas and 1 grandpa, Richard and Brenda Faulk and Elise Green) there to celebrate this occasion with us.
