How do we know that baptism is significant in the Christian faith?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism is significant as it symbolizes our union with Christ and His fulfillment of righteousness.

Baptism's significance in the Christian faith is rooted in its symbolic representation of the believer's union with Christ. When Jesus was baptized, He fulfilled all righteousness—a term that encompasses His complete obedience to the law and His identification with sinful humanity. By participating in baptism, believers express their faith that they, too, have been united with Christ in His death and resurrection. The act of going under the water illustrates death to sin, while emerging from the water represents new life in Christ (Colossians 2:12). Therefore, baptism is not merely a ritual; it serves as a vital proclamation of faith and the believer’s participation in the redemptive work of Christ.
