What is the symbolism of baptism?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism symbolizes death to sin and new life in Christ through immersion.

The act of baptism visually represents the believer's death to sin and resurrection to new life. When a believer is immersed in water, it symbolizes their identification with Christ's death and burial, while emerging from the water signifies resurrection and new life. As stated in Romans 6:4, 'We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too may live a new life.' This powerful symbolism serves as a profound declaration of one's faith and commitment to living in accordance with Christ's teachings.
