Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward reality. The Origin of Baptism Matthew 3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. The Significance of Baptism Matthew 3:14–15 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. The Testimony of Baptism Matthew 3:16–17 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Have I confessed Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior? Have I been baptized as a believer?
