Baptism is a Christian sacrament that symbolizes purification from sin and entry into the Christian faith. The word “baptism” comes from the Greek word “baptizo,” which means “to immerse.” Baptism is typically performed by immersing the person in water, but it can also be performed by sprinkling or pouring water on the person’s head.
The Bible teaches that baptism is an important step for all Christians. Jesus himself was baptized by John the Baptist, and he commanded his disciples to baptize all who believed in him. Baptism is a sign of our faith in Jesus Christ and our commitment to follow him.
