Bible Verses About Baptism

Verses on baptism — the outward sign of an inward transformation, declaring death to the old life and resurrection into the new.

Peter commands repentance and baptism for the forgiveness of sins. Paul connects baptism to burial and resurrection with Christ. When you go under the water, you are saying: I have died with Christ. When you rise, you are saying: I have been raised to new life. It is a public, embodied act of faith — a line drawn.
