From the Water to a Witness

This describes the progression from a believer's baptism into the waters, symbolizing their death to an old life and rebirth into Christ, to becoming a public witness and testimony of this inner transformation for other believers and the community. This process involves an outward act of water baptism as a command for believers, signifying a public declaration of inner faith, new birth, forgiveness of sins, and identification with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
