About the Cover: Whether received as an infant, child, or adult, the power of Baptism is in the Word of God which unites us to Christ’s death and resurrection. No matter how long ago it was made, this promise can never be void, and we grasp it through the gift of faith. In Christ, we have a baptismal identity that can never be taken away. We did not choose it. It was given to us by Christ Himself as a gift.
