Buried with Him in Baptism

Baptize

• βαπτίζω baptízō, bap-tid’-zo; from a derivative of G911; to immerse, submerge; to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet); used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism:—Baptist, baptize, wash.
• Immersion is important because only this mode preserves the significance of baptism as a
  burial.
• Repentance in the Bible is symbolic of death to sin and to the ungodly life before the
  encounter with Jesus Christ.
• Spiritually speaking, when a person repents, he is actually coming to the cross of Calvary.
• The old carnal nature is crucified to Christ.
• After death to sin, a person must be buried with Jesus by baptism.
• But how is a person buried?
  • Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
