To love and serve the Creator in righteousness, men and women need something more than an awareness of His existence through general revelation. We also need to know who and what He is, where He can be found, and how He may be approached; He reveals this in His Word. Brian Russell here guides us through what the Bible says about the attributes of God.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is no subject more worthy of our attention or more stretching to our finite minds than the infinite, eternal and unchangeable being and character of God.

Set in the context of Israel's failure, few places in the Old Testament speak so clearly about the merciful Messiah. And Brian Russell brings this out well. To quote Henri Blocher, 'In them our Saviour found the blueprint of His mission. From them Jesus learned that He would have to suffer for us; that He would die for us, as though He were a criminal, under the weight of our sins.

Having been expanded and reshaped, it is now published in book form. It is intended to help those who have been baptized as believers, or who are preparing to be baptized, to grasp the meaning of baptism as a sign and seal of God's covenant of grace. Though baptism is an act of obedience, that is not its primary function. It is, says Brian Russell, 'essentially a sacrament of grace ... a sacrament of divine initiative, not of human activity'. It signifies the union of the believer with Christ, the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit, all of which stem from God's grace and mercy towards undeserving sinners, and seals to us these blessings of the new covenant. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBaptism also commits believers to a new way of living. It is both a funeral ceremony in which the old way of life dominated by rebellion against God is buried once and for all, and an enlisting to live under God's rule in fellowship with God's people. It is, therefore, a richly meaningful act that continues to challenge Christians to walk in newness of life all their days. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrian Russell contends that baptism is for professed believers and not for infants, that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eit is not an option but a necessity, and that it should be by immersion in water and not by any other mode. He also insists that baptism \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis inseparably linked with membership in a particular local church. Yet though he has to engage in controversy with those who would differ from him, his approach is pastoral rather than polemical, for he urges us to 'improve' our baptism -'not by repeating it, but by regularly recalling the event so that we might enter into its reality afresh and renew our faith, hope, love, joy and obedience to Christ'. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the 1st Chapter \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/1200\/4790\/files\/Baptism_Sign_and_Seal_1st_Chapter.pdf?v=1711364810\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Baptism Sign and Seal 1st Chapter\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBorn in South Africa, Brian Russell has pastored several Baptist churches in his native land, in Zimbabwe and in Virginia, U.S.A. where he now lives in retirement.
