"We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life"- Romans 6:4 (NIV).
Anyone who has accepted Christ Jesus is a new creation. The old has passed away into a new life (2 Corinthians 5:17). From the lips of our Beloved Savior: "Whoever hears My words and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life" (John 5:24). Our heart of stone has been removed, replaced with a new heart and a new Spirit (Ezekiel 11:19). And now we claim the right to be called children of Almighty God...our Father (John 1:12). What kind of Divine love is this, that Christ Jesus would look upon us, sinful and dirty, and die for us (Romans 5:8)? We have died and been buried through baptism to become a new creation...to receive new life; and being born again we will see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3). Praise the Lord!
