Bible Question:
Is that what the verse says in Rom 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. Isn't this verse saying that we rise to walk in newness of life? So when we are baptized and we come up out of the water, that's our resurrection, then we walk in newness of life? vs. 5 For "if" we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: vs 6 Knowing this, that out "old man" is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. vs.7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. So where in the bible is that you are saying? |
Bible Answer: The Bible is Right...we sure do rise to walk in a newness of life...and I am a true believer in that we should be baptized...but our salvation and newness of life begins when we "die" to our old self and start our new life through Jesus Christ...if you recieved the Lord on a Monday,and did not get baptized until Sunday,do you begin your new life on Sunday after your baptized or on the Monday when you recieved Jesus into your heart...the answer would be on Monday for this is when you died to the old self...now in the scripture our baptism is an outward expression of an inward action that has taken place,you rise to walk in newness of life as soon as you recieve Jesus...the result of your newness of life will be wanting to follow what the Lord wants you to do(repent and be baptised)which represents the likeness of His death,burial,and resurrection...and also communion which represents his body and bloodshed for us...I would recomend reading these scriptures and then compare them with Romans 6:4...Romans 7:6,2Corinthians 5:17.,Gal 6:15,,Eph 4:23and Col 3:10...as for the resurrection I will get back to you on that as I must go for right now...God Bless |
