"Until very recently the chief thought that presented itself to me in connection with baptism was that of death and burial; but now it seems to me that the thought of resurrection and new life is by no means to be omitted, but rather to take the leading place. In 1 Peter 3:21 it is directly connected with the resurrection of Jesus Christ; and baptism, being called 'the interrogation of a good conscience towards God,' implies life. As the new-born babe cries, so new-born souls call upon Him who is the source of their life." – Extracts from "THE life and explorations of F. S. Arnot" (p. 208).
