Christian baptism represents your belief in Jesus Christ and decision to follow Him.
As you seek to live a Christian life and follow in the Savior’s footsteps, you may feel ready to be baptized. Christian baptism is an important step in your faith journey, as it not only represents your belief in and commitment to Jesus Christ, but it also symbolizes the death of your old life of sin and your rebirth as a spiritual child of God.
Christian baptism can be performed in different ways, depending on the church’s particular beliefs and traditions. In some churches, baptism by partial or complete immersion is practiced, while in others it may be done by sprinkling water on the head. Regardless, the use of water is an essential element, symbolizing the washing away of sin and resurrection into your new life as a follower of Christ.
Although he lived a life free from sin, Jesus Christ was baptized to fulfill all righteousness and to set an example for His followers, which we learn in the Bible.
