What does baptism signify in relation to repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism signifies immersion into the truth of the gospel and a declaration of our reliance on Christ for forgiveness.

Baptism symbolizes our identification with Christ in His life, death, and resurrection. It is an outward sign that reflects an inward reality of faith and repentance—an immersion not just in water but in the understanding that our hope for salvation lies entirely in what Christ has accomplished. As seen in Luke 3:3, John's baptism of repentance is an indication of a change of mind about our sins and the means of forgiveness, which is solely through the gospel. Thus, baptism points to the complete work of Christ in securing our salvation.
