Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. It’s an outward expression of an inward transformation—symbolizing that a person has turned from sin, trusted in Jesus for salvation, and begun a new life with Him. In the act of being immersed in water and raised again, baptism beautifully represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, as well as our own new life in Him (Romans 6:3–4). While baptism does not save us, it serves as a powerful testimony to others of the life-changing grace of God.
