BAPTISMBy Pastor Tony

Romans 5:18-6:12 18 One man's sin brought guilt to all people. So also one right act made all people right with God. And all who are right with God will live. 

19 Many people were made sinners because one man did not obey. But one man did obey. That is why many people will be made right with God.

n 20 The law was given so that sin would increase. But where sin increased, God's grace increased even more.

21 Sin ruled because of death. So also grace rules in the lives of those who are right with God. The grace of God brings eternal life because of what

Jesus Christ our Lord has done.

Romans 6 Living a New Life1 What should we say then? Should we

keep on sinning so that God's grace can increase?

2Not at all! As far as sin is concerned, we are dead. So how can we keep on

sinning? 3 All of us were baptised into Christ Jesus. Don't you know that we were

baptised into his death?

4 By being baptised, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has

been raised from the dead by the Father's glory. And like Christ we also

can live a new life. 5 By being baptised, we have been joined with him in his death. We will

certainly also be joined with him in his resurrection.

 6 We know that what we used to be was nailed to the cross with him.

That happened so our sinful bodies would lose their power. We are no

longer slaves of sin. 7 Those who have died have been set

free from sin.

8 We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We

know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again.

Death doesn't control him anymore.

10When he died, he died once and for all time as far as sin is concerned.

Now that he lives, he lives as far as God is concerned.

11 In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far

as sin is concerned. Now that you believe in Christ Jesus, consider yourselves to be

alive as far as God is concerned.

Baptism means to be put into Christ and

into His death

The meaning of baptism is to put

people into Christ. 

BaptiseThis word was first use for the process of dying

Jesus. Don't you know that we were baptised
