Baptism is not only a picture of what Jesus has done for u in the past but a picture of the life u are going to live in the future resulting ultimately in resurrection life in the very presence of God. Baptism captures 4 meanings: Repentance and Salvation from Sin (Matthew 3:11; 1 Peter 3:21) Association with the death and resurrection of Jesus (Romans 6:1–4) Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Becoming a citizen of the people and kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:28) It Foreshadows the life of Spirit empowered ministry that the disciple will now live (Gospel Narratives).
