What does the Bible say about righteous baptism?

Answered in 1 source

Righteous baptism, as exemplified by Jesus, is an important step of obedience for believers.

Righteous baptism is an identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and signifies a believer's obedience to God's command. In Luke 3:21, we see Jesus Himself being baptized, not for the remission of sins but to 'fulfill all righteousness.' This act sets an example for believers that baptism is a vital act of obedience following one's faith in Christ. Romans 6:4 teaches believers that through baptism we are buried with Him and raised to walk in newness of life, demonstrating outwardly the inward change that God has accomplished in us.
