Reasons to Reflect on Baptism #16. Baptism Proclaims a Legal Union Between Christ and the Believer. True believers are "in Christ". This is refers to a judicial union in which we

are regarded as having lived a perfect life, died to sin and so on because we are joined to

Christ, Who actually did these things for us. The union through which these things become ours is pictured in baptism. "Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into

Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the

glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life". (Romans 6:3-4) http://gopcmodestortp.blogspot.com.

Helpful Quotes

It is your duty and glory to do that every day that you would willingly do upon a dying day.

Ah, how would you live and love upon a dying day? How would you admire God, rest upon God, delight in God, long for God, and walk with God, upon a dying day? How would you

hate, loathe, and abhor your bosom sins upon a dying day?.... Thrice happy is that soul that labors with all his might to do that at first that he would give a thousand worlds to do on a

dying day. Thomas Brooks

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His

unspeakable love. John Owen

Precepts instruct us what things are our duty, but examples assure us that they are possible. . . . When we see men like ourselves, who are united to frail flesh and in the same

condition with us, to command their passions, to overcome the most glorious and glittering temptations, we are encouraged in our spiritual warfare. William Bates
