In the submission of Christ to the ordinance of baptism, He shows the sinner one of the important steps in true conversion. Christ had no sins to wash away, but in consenting to become a substitute for man, the sins of guilty man were imputed to Him.... While God accepts Christ as the sinner’s substitute, He gives the sinner a chance, with Christ’s divine power to help him, to stand the test which Adam failed to endure. (LHU 79.2) MC VC
