Today I read Romans chapter 6. I really like Romans. Every chapter I read I feel is full of doctrine. I'm sure every chapter in the scriptures is, but at least in Romans it's easier for me to understand.
This chapter talked about baptism, and how symbolic it is. Not only is it symbolic of our sins being washed away, it's symbolic of Christ's death and resurrection. We are "buried" in the water and then "rise" again, just like Christ did.
"5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection."
I really like that verse because it's telling us that if we are patterning our lives after Christ's, then we will be like him. Meaning we will have eternal life. We will be resurrected. It has been promised to us.
