When a person goes through a Christian baptism, they express their union with Him.
In the Bible, we read about Jesus Christ being baptized by John the Baptist. Although Jesus lived a life free from sin, He still instructed John the Baptist to perform His baptism, leading him to ask whether Jesus should be baptized. But in order to fulfill all righteousness, we learn that Jesus Christ had to be baptized. And today, believers of His word also follow his example in being Biblically baptized, not as a method of salvation but as a demonstration of that salvation.
The Christian baptism process can look different in the various denominations of Christianity, although it always involves the use of water. Some sprinkle water on the head, while others follow Christ’s example and are immersed completely. The practice is representative of becoming clean, or being forgiven of sin, and committing to a belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior. In Romans, we read that baptism also represents being buried, or dead to the power of sin. When a person goes through a Christian baptism, they express their union with Him and His resurrection.
