My name is Leslie Sito Guan. I am here today to be baptized. I dedicate this day to God. Now I am willing to lay down my life for God as he did for me with His amazing grace. Baptism means everything to me because it means that I can be reborn again through the forgiveness of sin by Jesus’ sacrifice for me.
Before I accepted Jesus as my personal savior and made the decision to be baptized, I doubted whether I was truly saved or if Jesus would ever live in my heart. Many times, instead of reading my Bible every night, I chose to watch television. Sinning was an easy way to satisfy my desires, but it made me lose my faith in Jesus. But as I place myself before Jesus, I learn that everything I do will affect me. I can choose my actions but I will be responsible for the consequences. Thanks to Jesus, all the sins I have done in the past mean nothing to me anymore—Jesus has forgiven all my sins.
However, I may still walk in the valley of darkness in this world. But now I am a strong Christian who realizes that God is light. I am so blessed that God called me here today to be baptized. I took the two crucial steps to success in life—become a Christian and be baptized. We are all blessed to be able to gather here today in our Father’s house to worship and hear the words of God. My old life is now behind me, and today I begin my new life in Jesus. No matter what I do, wherever I am, Jesus will always be in my heart.
