Therefore, state it most simply this way: The power, work, profit, fruit, and purpose of Baptism is this--to save. For no one is baptized in order that he may become a prince, but, as the words say, that he "be saved." We know that to be saved is nothing other than to be delivered from sin, death, and the devil. It means to enter into Christ's kingdom and to live forever.
~BOC, LC, IV, 24-25
