    Baptism is the most important sacrament because it transforms believers into God's people, allows them to receive Christ's salvation and new life, and gives the promise of eternal life. Baptism forgives original sin, which is the reality of pain, brokenness, suffering, and alienation that all humans are born into. God saves believers from this reality through baptism. Jesus' own baptism revealed his true identity as the Messiah and prefigured his death and resurrection. Baptism signifies entrance into the Christian community and membership in the Church.

    the dead.
