When you choose to get baptized, you are publicly celebrating the new life that Jesus created in you when you decided to follow Him.
Baptism represents the supernatural change Jesus has made in your life. It’s a public acknowledgment that you know you need a Savior, believe that Jesus died and walked out of the grave to give you eternal life, and have decided to have faith in Him.
After giving your life to Jesus, baptism is your next step of obedience to God.
Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:38 NLT
