Romans 6:4 speaks of being "buried with him in baptism" and raised to walk in newness of life. Baptism symbolizes both death and resurrection—death to sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ. Through baptism, the believer publicly identifies with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. It is a powerful symbol of the believer’s old life being buried, and a new life emerging through faith in Christ. This act signifies the believer’s commitment to walk in the newness of life, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Baptism is not just a ritual, but a spiritual reality that marks the believer’s full participation in the redemptive work of Christ. The water of baptism represents the cleansing from sin, while the resurrection symbolizes the new life that comes through faith in Christ. Baptism is the beginning of a transformed life, one that is lived in obedience to God and empowered by His Spirit.
