How does baptism symbolize our union with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism symbolizes our union with Christ as it represents our identification with His life, death, and resurrection.

Baptism serves as a powerful visual representation of the believer's union with Christ. When we are baptized, we declare that we were united with Jesus in His life, His death, and His resurrection. During His baptism, Jesus affirmed this union, identifying with us, showcasing the beauty and simplicity of the sacrament. The act of immersion signifies that we have died to sin and have been raised to new life in Him. This foundational truth assures believers that their faith is not merely a set of doctrines but a living relationship embodied through their identification with the Savior's work on their behalf, as articulated in Romans 6.
