“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
Romans 6:4
devotion
Baptism is more than just a ritual; it is a profound symbol of our faith. When we are baptized, we are identifying with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. This act signifies that our old life, with all its sins and brokenness, is buried, and we are raised to walk in a new life with Christ.
Think about the symbolism of going under the water and coming back up. It represents dying to our old selves and being reborn in Christ. This transformation is not just a one-time event but a daily commitment to live out our faith.
As you reflect on your baptism or consider taking this step, remember that it is a powerful declaration of your faith. It is a way to publicly show that you are committed to following Jesus and living according to His teachings.
How does the symbolism of baptism resonate with your personal journey of faith? What does it mean for you to be 'raised to walk in the newness of life'?
