In the end, becoming and being a Christian is something done to us and for us before it is anything done by us.In other words: faith requires others. Just like baptism. Someone has to hold us, pray over the water, tell us about Jesus and the promise of what he has done, is doing, and will do. Someone has to model that faith, a whole life of faith. Otherwise, we would have no idea what we are baptized into.To know who Jesus is and what he means has got to come to us through others as a gift - a gift like grace.
