Baptism is a beautiful picture of the death, burial and ressurection of Christ parallelled in the Christian life.
Romans 6:4 :"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
When a person accepts Christ as their Savior, they put to death the old sinful nature, they rise in Christ's forgiveness and begin a new life moving forward in the newness of life in Christ. In our church family, we rejoice over baptism and the new life it portrays.
