How
can water do such great things?
Certainly not just water,
but
the word of God in and with the water does these things,
along
with the faith which trusts this word of God in the water.
For
without God's word the water is plain water and no Baptism.
But
with the word of God it is a Baptism,
that
is, a life-giving water, rich in grace,
and a
washing of the new birth in the Holy Spirit,
as St.
Paul says in Titus, chapter three:
"He
saved us through the washing of rebirth
and
renewal by the Holy Spirit,
whom
He poured out on us generously
through
Jesus Christ our Savior,
so
that, having been justified by His grace,
we
might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
This
is a trustworthy saying" (Titus 3:5-8).
