Romans 6:1-5: Submerged into Jesus Christ 4/20/2025

In Romans 6:1–5, Paul teaches that when we are baptized into Christ, we are united with Him in His death, burial, and resurrection. Just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are raised to live a new life. Our old selves—bound by sin—are symbolically buried with Christ through baptism. This passage emphasizes that we don’t continue living in sin because our identity has changed; we have been “submerged” into Jesus’ death and now rise with Him to walk in the newness of life.
