Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19

The outward sign of baptism, the washing with water, signifies what is actually occurring spiritually. Baptism is no mere human sign. Although many cultures had ceremonial washings indicating the need for spiritual cleanliness, they merely pointed to the reality of sacramental baptism. Water, being necessary for physical life, also signifies that we are being given the life of God within us, sanctifying grace. When we are baptized in the name of the three persons of the Trinity, we are adopted into the family of God. This marks us indelibly as belonging to God.
