Water baptism symbolizes the believer’s total trust in and total reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a commitment to live obediently to Him. It also expresses unity with all the saints (Ephesians 2:19), that is, with every person in every nation on earth who is a member of the Body of Christ (Galatians 3:27–28). Water baptism conveys this and more, but it is not what saves us. Instead, we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works (Ephesians 2:8–9). We are baptized because our Lord commanded it: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
The thesaurus may say that change and transition are synonyms but they aren’t.
Change is the modification of an external situation. It’s meaning is clear. You start a diet. You leave one job for another. You move to a new city. You get married. You have a baby. Each of these is an event. It is a change.
But each of these changes will have their own degree of emotional adjustment, personal adapting, and internal reorientation. The internal reorientation to change is the transition.
