Buried in Death and Raised In Christ (Rom 6:1-4)

Paul’s “super-abounding grace” (Rom 5:20) sparks a big question: should we keep sinning so grace shines brighter? In Romans 6:1–4, the answer is a resounding no—and the proof is baptism. Pastor Zach “double-clicks” on this passage to show how immersion visibly proclaims our union with Christ: buried with Him, raised to newness of life. Along the way, he charts a path between antinomianism and legalism, explains why mode matters, connects baptism to the Bible’s water-through-judgment storyline, and highlights how baptism marks us not just to Jesus but into His people—the “we” of the church. If you’ve never been baptized as a believer, are unsure your baptism matches your profession, or simply need encouragement against the accusing voice of your past, this message will help you reckon with who you are in Christ and live like it.
