“We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death... in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead... we too may live a new life.” – Romans 6:4
Baptism is not just a symbol — it's a powerful spiritual declaration. It says: “I have been crucified with Christ, buried with Him, and raised to new life.” It’s our public step of identification with Jesus, by grace through faith.
Water baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It doesn’t save us — only Jesus does — but it powerfully expresses our death to the old life and our resurrection into new life with Christ.
Just as Jesus died and rose again, baptism declares that our old self was crucified with Him. We go under the water representing death — and rise up into the new identity He gave us, alive in righteousness, not shame.
Ask the Holy Spirit:
Jesus, thank You for dying and rising again so I could live a new life. I confess that I have been crucified with You and raised into newness. Help me walk in the power of that truth every day. Thank You for the gift of baptism — a visible reminder that I am Yours. Amen.
Reflect on your own baptism. If you haven’t been baptized, write about what it means to you and any questions you still have. What does it mean to be buried and raised with Christ?
