How do we know that baptism is important?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism is important because Jesus Himself was baptized and commanded His followers to do the same, reflecting our union with Him.

The significance of baptism is underscored by the act of Christ getting baptized, demonstrating the essentiality of this sacrament. Jesus declared in Matthew 3:15 that it must be done to 'fulfill all righteousness,' indicating that baptism is tied to our obedience to God’s commands. By being baptized, believers publicly confess their faith in Jesus Christ and their identity as His followers. Additionally, baptism represents a profound spiritual truth: it symbolizes the believer's union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection, making it a vital practice for those who have faith in Him.
