The Water and the Blood

How the Sacraments Shape Christian Identity

About this book

This Thoughtful Book Explores How the Sacraments Shape Christian Identity in ChristĀ 

Our culture today teaches us that we must look inside ourselves to discover our place and purpose in lifeā€”we can determine our own identities and express them however we want. This self-centered approach promises freedom and fulfillment, but it leads only to confusion and despair.Ā 

InĀ  The Water and the Blood, Kevin P. Emmert combatsĀ this egocentric mindset with a sustainable solution through Jesus Christ. Emmert explores the depth of Christian identity, which our triune God makes visible through the sacraments of the gospel.

This thoughtful, theologically driven book explains how God uses multisensory elementsā€”water, bread, and wineā€”to communicate to his people and unite them to the life-giving body of Christ. Readers will be inspired to joyfully embrace the identity they have received in Christ as baptized and communing persons.Ā 

  • Offers a Sustainable Solution for Identity Confusion:Ā This book uncovers how a transformative relationship with Christ produces lasting significance and purposeĀ 
  • Examines the Sacraments:Ā By exploring baptism and Communion, this book outlines what identity in Christ entails and how it is strengthened
  • Great for Pastors, Seminary Students, and Scholars:Ā Rich in theology, contents from this book will help Christian leaders teach others how the sacraments shape Christian identityĀ
