baptism

I still remember when i was eight,
I was baptized by my uncle.
I knew it's a special moment in my life,
I have agreed to make commitments to our Lord.
this' significantly important to answer why we have to get baptized.

in D&C 20:37,
"And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism—All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them t of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church"
here it's talking about why and how the convert get baptized.
actually it's not just for them,
but for us who those born in church, we still need to ponder about the purpose of baptism,
and keep living our commitments to our Heavenly Father.
