Day 1: Baptism symbolizes death and new resurrection life.
When you step into the water with the right heart and faith, you are declaring a threshold mark of obedience: the old life is crucified, buried, and a new resurrection life begins; baptism itself has no power apart from the faith you bring, but by that faith you proclaim that what is buried you no longer carry and you will walk in the newness of life. [01:01:22]
Romans 6:3-4 (NIV)
Or donât you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 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.
Reflection: What one specific habit, memory, or pattern will you decide to symbolically âleave in the waterâ today, and who will you tell to hold you accountable by the end of this week?
