WORSHIP!!! Worship is about declaring the worth of Jesus Christ, and the Word of God reminds us that we cannot declare His worth without understanding what He did through His death, Burial, and resurrection.

It testifies of our submission, as we allow ourselves to be baptized by another, Reminding us that there is nothing we can do to obtain Salvation on our own, rather we obtain it by submitting to the word of God. I testifies of the union we have with the Godhead as we are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
