A.J. Higgins explains the meaning of Christian baptism by drawing a parallel between the baptism endured by the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary under the judgment of God (Luke 12:50) and the water baptism of believers. He examines major themes including baptism as an act of immersion and physical submersion beneath waters, an expression of identification with Christ's death for sin, and an act of obedience to divine command. Furthermore, he emphasizes the theological significance of these actions as a public confession of faith rather than a means of salvation, pointing to the believer's union with Christ's finished work.
