Have you ever wondered why people get baptized? There are so many misconceptions about the purpose of baptism. To be clear, getting baptized will not get you into heaven. Like wearing a wedding ring signifies that you’re married, baptism signifies that we trust Jesus is God’s Son and there is nothing we can do to earn salvation apart from Him.

Just as baptism proclaims God’s grace in our lives, there is also an aspect of obedience tied to it. In Acts 22:16, Jesus says, “What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.”
