Glory of God – Romans 6:4-6
Vs 4 – As baptism is a sign of burial so when we come out of
the water it is a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is for glory of God. God gets all the credit so the results of
this reality is that you live a new life in Christ. A life that is pleasing to God.
Vs 5 – As we have been united with Christ in death so shall
we be united with Him in His resurrection.
A wonderful metaphor about how on one hand before we knew Christ we were
dead in trespasses and sin but now we are alive in our new life because of His
resurrection.
Vs 6 – Our old self has to be crucified so the power of the
body of sin would be render powerless.
Sin ruled our lives from the day we were born until we give our lives to
Jesus Christ. The goal here is that we would
no longer be slaves to sin but to Christ.
Who the Son sets free is free indeed.
