The Washer and Dryer Effect
Baptism is like a washer and dryer.
Have you ever washed a pair of jeans and didn’t put them in the dryer? Putting on wet jeans is next to impossible. But if you do manage to put them on…they are far from comfortable. We wash our clothes to make them clean and then put them in the dryer to finish the job.
Baptism is just the same.
There is no point is getting wet if we are not going to get dry later.
Christ said that if we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must 'be born of the water AND of the Spirit'. John 3:5
What does the Spirit do? It is the finisher. The dryer. It sanctifies. The Spirit is what cleanses you.
But as you know, everything eventually breaks down and will need to be repaired. The Lord doesn't leave anything out in His great plan and He knows that we will need to eventually repair our spiritual 'Washer and Dryer'.
How can this be done?
The Sacrament.
God has given us the best maintenance shop, with the perfect repair man. The Lord knows that we will not be perfect after we are baptized so he has given us the Sacrament to maintain the washing we have done at baptism, and to keep our dryer in check throughout the week. He really is amazing, and loves you so much! Don't give up when you realize you are not perfect, God always has a plan for you and THE way you can make it back to Him.
