Simply put, baptism is an outward display and celebration of your inward decision to trust Jesus with your eternity. It’s an act of obedience and a public declaration that you believe Jesus died on a cross, was buried, and walked out of the grave alive, so each of us can have eternal life.
When you choose baptism, you are letting the world know you have a new life in Jesus and that you’re committing to follow Him on a new path. If you’ve decided to follow Jesus, baptism is your next step in your spiritual journey.
