There are some who say that we cannot come to God, it is only by Him coming to us that we are saved. While it is true that we are only saved because of His coming to us in Jesus, it does not follow then that we cannot come to Him. In fact, we come to Him because He came to us, but we are still called to come. God’s call and our response meet in what we call Baptism.
Jon Weatherly from Cincinnati Christian University provides some good insight in this article into what the New Testament says about coming to God through baptism:
Baptism is a richly meaningful act, commanded by Christ, in which we humbly ask the risen Lord for what he alone can give. It is a prayer that confesses our need and his supremacy. It does not detract from truth that the Lord alone saves; it confesses that truth.
