Why do we need to be baptize?

The baptism of Lord Jesus at the River Jordan

THE MAIN REASON: To be cleansed from your sins

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

But before to be baptize, you must sure that you believe in the teachings of LORD JESUS:

Acts 2:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

2:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

2:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

ANOTHER PROOF that there is a need to hear God's words before baptism:

Ephesians 4:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BAPTISM IN YOU:

A) Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

B) You will receive the Holy Spirit (read Acts 2:38)

C) You will have these good characteristics:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

The reason this verse will be fulfilled to you as a baptized Christian:

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
