Learn about the resurrection of the dead, eternal life, and Christian baptism.
Questions 33 to 36 complete the Nicene Creed with one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and the life of the world to come. Learn why baptism is given once, how it relates to repentance and new birth, and why Christians hope for the resurrection of the body. The lesson explains the 2026 Articles of Faith's description of baptism as a sign and seal, with the Holy Spirit as the giver of new life. Passages from First Corinthians 15, First Thessalonians 4, and Revelation explain the promise of new creation, alongside the catechism's teaching on judgment and eternal condemnation.
