Generation

The Bible teaches that baptism is an outward sign of faith in Jesus Christ, symbolizing the believer's identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. It is commanded by Jesus as an act of obedience for those who believe in Him. **Romans 6:3-4**: "Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
