Kent Priebe emphasizes the significance of baptism as a crucial step in a Christian's life, illustrating Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, and symbolizing a person's union with Christ in his death and resurrection. He explains that baptism is not just a one-time event, but a daily reminder of the Christian's new life in Jesus Christ, where they live surrendered, trusting, and obeying Him. Priebe encourages those who have not been baptized to take the step of obedience, and those who have been baptized to remember the significance of their baptism and live each day with that reality. He also addresses common reasons why people may not get baptized, such as pride, fear of speaking in front of people, or embarrassment, and assures them that baptism is an essential part of the Christian life, showing that one believes in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
