haar Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? A. Our immersion in water at baptism is synonymous to Christ's dead on the cross and burial in the grave while our rising out from the water at baptism represents His resurrection from the dead. Spiritually, by Christ's resurrection, we are raised with Him positionally and seated with Him in the right hand of God to reign with in Heaven.

Niyonka16 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? ANSWER: Those who put their faith in Christ are ''spiritually'' circumcised and are identified with God through their faith. This act of forgiveness by God frees us from the eternal penalty of sin, restores our relationship, and defeats the evil forces fighting against us.When a person trusts in Christ for salvation, that person is baptized in the Holy Spirit into Christ's death. We die with Him. This death somehow breaks sin's rule over us and frees us from our need to obey our sinful desires (Romans 6:3-4). We as Christians agree that baptism is a picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When a true believer is immersed, he is proclaiming to the world that he is being identified with Christ: by being placed under the water, he is proclaiming that he has died and been buried with Christ. by being raised up from the water, he is proclaiming that he has been raised from the dead with Christ to live a new life. God counts the person as having died in Christ. God takes the person's faith and baptism and counts the person as participating in Christ's death. God counts and considers the person to be identified and be in union with Christ's death. It means that we no longer live “in” sin. According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? ANSWER: At Christ's right hand we share His power and privileges in the spiritual world. Our being co-raised with Christ typifies the grace of God to us. It was with Jesus we were raised up. Obviously this is a spiritual resurrection that follows our crucifixion with Christ and our entombment with Christ. Christ's resurrection was physical while ours was a spiritual resurrection. On the basis of the believer's past spiritual resurrection, there is the guarantee of a future physical resurrection and transformation. Believers don't just receive life but experience resurrection life in Christ and it is something we should pray for to be fully realized. Practically this truth means that we now can walk in His (Christ’s) resurrection power. On the basis of our past resurrection with Christ, we have the sure "hope of our calling", of a future physical resurrection and transformation of our bodies into conformity with His glorious body.
