Question #74
of An Orthodox Catechism
Question
How art thou admonished and assured in Baptism, that thou art Partaker of the only Sacrifice of Christ?
Answer
1 Because Christ commanded the outward washing of Water, adjoyning2 this Promise thereunto, that I am no less assuredly washed by his Blood and Spirit from the uncleanness of my Soul, that is, from all my Sins, than I am3 washed outwardly with Water, whereby all the Filthiness of the Body useth to be purged.
