What does it mean that baptism is a command from God?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism as a command signifies obedience and submission to God's will for every believer.

When Christ declared that it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness through His baptism, He also set a precedent for all believers. This indicates that baptism is not merely an option but an essential act of obedience for those who believe in Christ. It is an expression of faith and commitment to follow Christ, showcasing a humble heart willing to surrender to God's will. Failure to obey this ordinance reflects a lack of understanding of its significance and the believer's relationship with God.
