The nature of baptism is a burial, which signifies not only our being dead with Christ and the blessings resulting from that union, but our being dead to the world and sin, even as Christ was done with the sins he bore. “How shall we who are dead live any longer therein?”
Our old man, who is with us from birth, can never be improved but must be crucified daily by the Spirit and grace of Christ. It remains with us, but we must not indulge it nor make provisions for it, but rather crucify it. We serve Christ, not sin!
