Old and New Pennies and Baptism

 

WE MAKE THREE PROMISES AT BAPTISM

HANDOUT COMING...

 

  • We promise to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ.

    This means that we will become followers of Jesus and will become known as Christians.

     

  • We will always think of Jesus throughout our lives.

    When we have a decision to make, we will remember Jesus, and think of what he would want us to do.

     

  • We promise to serve Jesus by keeping his commandments and following his teachings throughout our lives. 

    This means we will learn what is right and strive to live the example he has set for us.

 


 

The old penny represents sin. 

Notice how dark and ugly it is.  That is how sin affects our spirit.  Each sin, no matter how small, adds darkness to our spirits.  If we keep sinning, and don’t repent, eventually our spirits will turn as dark and ugly as this penny.

Heavenly Father loves us very much.  Because of that love, he has provided a way for us to forsake our sins and find our way back to him.  That is what you are doing here today! 

The new penny represents baptism. 

After we are baptized we are fresh and new as when we were born.  We are sin free.  We are clean in every way.  If we remain faithful to the covenants we made at baptism and obey God’s commandments, we will stay as clean as this new penny.
