Changes

To me, baptism represented a public declaration, an outward sign of my inward change when I repented of my sins and placed my faith in Jesus Christ and was given new life in him. However, not all Christians see baptism this way.

Jesus was baptized. His cousin, John, was in the wilderness by the River Jordan proclaiming that the Christ was coming and that the people needed to repent of their sins. Many people came to John, confessing their sins and were baptized by him in the river. And so, among the crowds one day, Jesus came to John (Matthew 3: 13-17)
