BAPTIZED INTO DEATH
Romans 6:3-4
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Encouraging Words
Some have asked me why baptism is important. It is through the act of baptism that we are brought into the death of our Christ and subsequently raised with Him into our newness of life. It is a sacrament that brings us closer to our living Lord. Our salvation is in Christ alone, but our acts that follow that salvation, such as baptism, both draw us closer to Him and demonstrates to those around us that we belong to Him. We are baptized into His death so that we can receive life through Him. Glory be to God!
