This booklet teaches readers why infant baptism is an essential practice for the Church. Ultimately, Reformed churches baptize infants because this practice heralds God’s glorious covenant promises. This visible proclamation of God’s word is a God-given means to cultivate biblical godliness in the Church, in parenting, and in the lives of our children. Ryan M. McGraw takes us beyond the question of whether infant baptism is right and shows us what difference it actually makes.

“Writing with his characteristic clarity and warmth, Ryan McGraw has dispelled doubts and demystified infant baptism. What is often dismissed is here demonstrated to be entirely consistent with the spirit and truth of divine revelation—as that which both establishes our identity in Christ and assures us of the priority of the Father’s love — He loved us before we loved Him!” —Liam Gohliger, senior minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
