Consider Your Baptism

In Romans 6, Paul appeals to our Baptism; In it we experience (in a spiritual sense) the death and resurrection of Christ. Just as Christ died to sin, once for all and now lives to God (v 10), so then, we must consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus (v 11).

"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness." (Romans 6:12, 13)
