IMPORTANCE OF WATER BAPTISM
Question 56: How is the cleansing by the blood of Christ and Water Baptism biblically connected?
Answer: The blood of Jesus Christ and Water Baptism are connected biblically in that the work of the blood is seen as accomplished through and by Water Baptism. e.g.:
• The blood of Jesus remits sins (Matthew 26:28), and Water Baptism remits sins (Acts 2:38);
Mt 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Ac 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
- The blood of Jesus washes from sin (Revelation 1:5), and Water Baptism washes from sins (Acts 22:16);

Ac 22:16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
- The blood of Jesus cleanses the conscience (Hebrews 9:14), and Water Baptism cleanses the conscience (First Peter 3:21);

121 1 Pt 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
- The blood of Jesus sanctifies (Hebrews 10:29), and Water Baptism sanctifies (Ephesians 5:26).
He 10:29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
123 Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
