How do we know baptism is important in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism is a command of Christ and symbolizes our confession of faith and union with Him.

Baptism holds a vital role in the life of a believer because it is an outward sign of an inward grace. It serves as a public confession of faith in Jesus Christ and signifies our identification with Him in His death, burial, and resurrection. Based on Christ's command in Matthew 28:19-20, believers are obligated to be baptized, which not only represents their acceptance of Christ but also marks their entry into the Christian community. Furthermore, baptism symbolizes the cleansing from sin and rebirth, emphasizing reliance on Christ's work for salvation. Thus, it is an essential practice as it affirms our commitment to follow Him.
