About This Quote
The grace of being is gift of baptism by washing in water. And in Spirit of Christ Jesus. This quote refers to the baptism by which someone becomes a Christian. The person is immersed under water symbolic of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
The person is then washed clean of sin. The quote also refers to the Holy Spirit that brings us into the new life that is received through baptism. Someone who is not baptized has not experienced this baptism and therefore does not have this new life.
