Baptism as a Sign of the Gospel

Another key point highlighted in the podcast is that baptism is a sign of the gospel functioning in our lives. Just as the gospel does not focus on what we do, but on pointing us to the one who can save us, baptism functions in the same way. It is not a sign of something we have done, but rather points us away from ourselves to the Lord Jesus and the spiritual blessings found in Him. By focusing on the forgiveness of sins, redemption from sin, and adoption into the family of God through Jesus Christ, baptism serves as a reminder and confirmation of what Christ has done, strengthening believers to remain faithful and live out their Christian lives.
