How can water do such great things? Titus 3:5-8 (p. 297)
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)

#1008 1 Peter 3:21 (P.293) Baptism, which corresponds to this [Noah’s flood], now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
#1027 2 Corinthians 5:17 (P.303) Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new have come.
