Baptism is a powerful symbol of what Jesus did for
us. When we are baptized, we are reminded of what Jesus
did for us. When we are immersed into the water, we are
reminded of Jesus’ death on the cross and His payment for
our sins. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has
come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians
5:17). If we are in Christ, we are new creations. Baptism
reminds us that the old is gone, and the new has come!
