BAPTISM AS THE SOURCE OF CHRISTIAN IDENTITY

Abstract

Baptism, being God’s grace, is a dynamic reality. Its sacramental power, always creative
and mysterious, derives from the Personal Love of God. Baptism is at the heart of being a Christian.
It is the source of his identity. The characteristic “food” of baptism is the good will of man
and the life of faith and love. Baptism “feeding” on them results in spiritual development and
increasing participation. Their peak then is the holiness of the person and the mystical union of
man with others in the Triune God.

Keywords:

baptism, Christianity, Christian identity, sacraments of the Church, conversion, salvation, Church community.
