Why Water Baptism?
Water Baptism symbolizes three things:
- THAT YOU WANT HIM.
Water Baptism in the Bible symbolizes that you have chosen to make Jesus the Lord of your life. This means you have put your trust in Him as your Savior.
“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
- THAT YOU NEED HIM
Water Baptism symbolizes the need for our sin to be washed clean. It represents the truth that our old person is gone, and the new has come.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
- THAT YOU FOLLOW HIM.
Water Baptism is your first act of obedience after putting your trust in Him. When you are baptized with water, you are obeying the words and command of Jesus Christ. Water Baptism symbolizes that you are willing to follow Jesus, and have your life match His will for you.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
