Baptism is a gift from God.  There is nothing we can do to earn, deserve, or purchase baptism.  It is first of all a sign that God, in Christ, has done all that is necessary to redeem us.  The mystery of faith is that God’s act of self-giving is offered to us freely, long before we begin to recognize, want, or understand it.

(Book of Common Worship, 1991)
