It has been said that Baptism is to the Christian faith what the wedding ring is to a marriage. It is a symbol. Baptism is symbolic of the washing away of our sins. It is also symbolic of a new way of life. "Like the wedding ring, baptism draws a mark on the ground between the past and the future. Like the wedding ring, it says, "From this day forward, I stand with God." And Just like a marriage when we are baptized into Christ we take vows, vows that signify from this moment on, I will stand with Christ, from here on out I will follow, I will endeavor to do all that is within my power to be all that Jesus wants me to be, vows that state from this moment on I belong to God!
