And, then, you will not quarrel with the ordinance of baptism either. I know it is very natural that you should say, "What is there in it?" I also would say, what is there in it? What can there be in a mere washing in water? If you thought there were any salvation by it meritoriously, you would have missed the track altogether; but the Lord hath put it, that "he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved," and therefore you obey. I do not attempt to justify my Lord for so commanding, for he needs no defense from me, but if he so chooses to put it, the true heart will yield prompt obedience to his will. If it were of merit, I could see no merit in baptism or in believing, for surely it cannot be meritorious to believe what is true or to have one's body washed with pure water.
