The Seven Sacraments: Baptism

In this clear explainer from our Seven Sacraments series, we explore Baptism — the first sacrament of initiation and the gateway to all the others, through which we are reborn as children of God and members of the Church. Key points covered: Biblical roots: Jesus' command to baptize "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19), His own baptism by John, and the necessity of water and the Trinitarian formula Effects of grace: Cleanses original sin and personal sins, infuses sanctifying grace, makes us adopted sons/daughters of God, incorporates us into Christ's Body (the Church), and imprints an indelible spiritual mark Signs and symbols: Water (washing and life-giving), the words of institution, anointing with chrism (in some rites), white garment (new life), candle (Christ the Light) Who can receive it: Anyone not yet baptized (infants in Catholic tradition, based on original sin and family faith; adults through RCIA with full preparation) Who administers it: Ordinarily a priest or deacon, but in emergencies, any person (even non-Catholic) with right intention and proper form/matter Why infant Baptism: To free from original sin early, incorporate into the Church community, and begin the life of grace (supported by Scripture like Acts 16:15, 33 and Tradition) Baptism is not just a ceremony — it's a profound encounter with Christ's saving death and resurrection, making us "a new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
