BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH
Baptism is often overlooked as simply a ritual or act that Christians perform as a show of obedience to the Lord. Once baptized, many Christians never think of it again - the obligation has been fulfilled. I pray that after reading this today, your view of baptism is changed, and that your whole walk with God is transformed forever. In the sixth chapter of Romans, the apostle Paul plainly teaches the basic principles of baptism, beginning with the question: “Shall we continue in sin?” The answer is clearly, “no;” but the reason is very intriguing. The writer asks how we, who are dead to sin, can live any longer in sin. Many Christians I know struggle from day to day to do the right things, make the right choices, and live a life that is pleasing to God. They live their life in full awareness that they are open to temptation and subject to attack and, therefore, are ever busy fighting and resisting those temptations – sometimes successfully, and sometimes not so much.
