Into Christ Jesus

Romans 6:1-4 (ESV Strong's)

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

When we are “buried with him by baptism into death”, we break the chains of the old man that bind us and enter into the newness of life. The abundance of that life becomes ours when we begin walking with Him. In doing so, we transform into His image. Christ is the image of God and we are made in His image. We are the body of Christ.
