Brother Webb's lesson focused on the biblical significance of water and its connection to salvation, particularly through the act of baptism. Throughout the scriptures, God has used water as a dividing line - between life and death, bondage and freedom, sickness and health. In the New Testament, baptism is presented as the pivotal moment where the believer is buried with Christ and raised to walk in newness of life, marking the transition from sin to salvation. While the water itself holds no special power, baptism represents the believer's appeal to God for a clean conscience through the resurrection of Jesus. Brother Webb emphasized that baptism is an essential part of God's plan for salvation and cannot be neglected or removed from the process of becoming a Christian. The lesson underscored the biblical importance of baptism as a crucial step in the journey of faith.
