314. How does Baptism help me in my life and death?
Baptism is God's work, and what He does is sure and certain. Nothing is more certain in all the universe than the name that God has placed on us in Baptism--the name by which God reveals Himself to us. Baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we have God's own pledge and promise in Baptism that He has forgiven our sins and delivered us from death, hell, and the devil. In times of doubt, temptation, or failure--and especially in the face of death--we can boldly say, "I am baptized into Christ," and be certain that the comforting words of Romans 8:1 are true: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
