The Three Major Effects of the Sacrament of Baptism.

When Jesus was on earth, he instituted some spiritual aids to help us get

to heaven. Those helps are called the Sacraments, and they are outward signs instituted by Christ to

give grace. One of the more important sacraments is Baptism. There are three main effects of the

Sacrament of Baptism: remission of Original sin, remission of venial and mortal sins if any, and

becoming children of God and heirs of Heaven.

The first major effect of the sacrament of Baptism is the remission of

Original sin. This is good, because the person is ridding himself of a terrible sin committed by our first

parents, Adam and Eve. When one is forgiven that sin, one has obtained the sacred and essential state

of grace which will open the road to Heaven. Accompanied by that grace, one gets many gifts from

God to further help him on the narrow road to Heaven. Baptism, an essential Sacrament to salvation,

gets rid of the stain of Original sin.

Also, another effect of the sacrament of Baptism is the remission of venial

and mortal sins if any are on the soul. This makes it easier for a person to get into the state of grace.

When a person receives Baptism in the state of mortal or venial sin, the punishment and the sins

themselves are forgiven and forgotten. This effect of the sacrament of Baptism makes it easier for a

person to be in the state of grace and in the Church.

Another effect of the Sacrament of Baptism is that we become children

of God and heirs of Heaven. When a person receives Baptism, the water washes away his Original sin

and makes him children of God and heirs of heaven. A a result, he has the right to go to Heaven so

long as he remains faithful to God our Father and dies in the state of sanctifying grace. However, the

sacrament of Baptism is also a help to one here on earth because he then becomes part of the

organization or Church of Christ.

The sacrament of Baptism, the most important sacrament of the

Church, has many effects including the remission of Original sin, any mortal and venial sins if any

on the soul, and becoming children of God and heirs of Heaven. This sacrament frees one from

Original sin and the clenches of the devil. It is a great sacrament since it takes away the temporal and

eternal punishment due to unforgiven mortal sins and venial sins. This great sacrament is very

important because it allows one to receive the other sacraments, and puts him on the road to Heaven.
