Dar Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? Salvation is our "faith" alone in the death and resurrection of Jesus, baptism is our outward expression of our commitment to Jesus, I was once dead and now I am alive, and now that I am dead to sin I will not let sin reign in me. According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: We are now dead to sin, with Christ living in me God ordained that I should also walk in righteousness, His righteousness. Salvation is not a religion, it is a relationship with Father God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We have the power to overcome. Greater is He who is in me!

When we are baptized, we are immersed in the water signifying that we are dead in Christ. Then we are brought up out of the water signifying that we have eternal life and are alive in Christ. According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power?

Don W Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Our baptism is a New Testament picture of the Old Testament circumcision or the cutting off of the fleshly, worldly nature of believers for the spiritual, “new lives” of the believers (then Jewish believers; now, Christian believers). It is a picture then as well as now of the cutting off of the old life of the world for the new life in Christ; and Christ’s resurrection gives the same picture as does His death on the cross, but adds to it a promise of our resurrection in Christ as well. Christ Jesus has given us as His people His spiritual power through our union with Him; and He has done it all for us because there is basically nothing good in us that can bring this union upon ourselves except by His holy, perfect and Almighty power He has both saved us from our sins as well as many other things, one of which is to be in union with us as well as to bring us into union with each other just as Jesus Christ is in perfect union with His Father and the Holy Spirit. All we can do about this is to give Him all the honor and glory He deserves in worshiping, praising Him, and living our lives, our very existence, to Him as our Lord and Savior. Amen!

Marloes Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? Baptism is a sign that we died for sin but live again in Jesus. Like He died on the cross and lived again. We live in His spiritual power because we have the Spirit.

According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? When we go into the water, we are buried with Him in death. When we come out of the water, we are resurrected with Him in life. We now have the power to rise up and sit in heavenly places with Christ. This means that we now are in His presence and we also have an intimate relationship with God!

hanks Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? Baptism symbolises the death and burial of our old way of life. As we come up out of the water this symbolises resurrection to a new life with Christ. We have been spiritually raised up with Christ to a new type of life; one in which like Jesus ours will be powerful and eternal. What Jesus did physically (died, arose, and took His seat in heaven) God has already done for us spiritually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurselaino Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? Rom 6:3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Rom 6:4 Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life. Rom 6:5 For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. Col 2:12 When you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. With the death of sin in our life to the life of holiness we can see how baptism is compared to the raising of Jesus. This power or grace can only come from God. So that Christ himself, being released of his infirmity and weakness, might live in glory with God forever, we who are his members rise for this purpose, that being made partakers of the very same power, we should begin to lead a new life, as though we were already in heaven. We had become dead to sin, as Christ was dead to the living world around him when he was buried; and that as he was raised up to life, so we should also rise to a new life. Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love for us Eph 2:5 even when we were dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), Eph 2:6 raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus, God himself is the author of this great and happy change, and his great love is the spring and fontal cause of it; hence he resolved to show mercy. We are in a saved state from the moment of our faith in Christ and acceptance of Him not merely waiting to be saved. It has already been realized. Our union with him presently spiritually and in the future bodily is what we live for. Believers are not yet possessed of their seats in heaven; but each of them has a place prepared for him. There was such a connection between Christ and those whom the Father hath given to him, that his resurrection from the grave involved their resurrection to spiritual life. It was like raising up the head and the members - the whole body together. Everywhere in the New Testament, the close connection of the believer with Christ is affirmed. We are crucified with him. We die with him. We rise with him. We live with him. We reign with him. We are joint heirs with him. We share his sufferings on earth 1Pe_4:13, and we share his glory with him on his throne; Rev_3:21. We reign with the Lord now...we have the same power as Christ has to raise from the dead...we do not have to wait until we stand bodily with the Lord...we now have Christ living within us...that should in itself tell us how spiritually powerful we are.

quilter Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 IN PAUL,S DAY IMMERSION WAS THE USUAL FORM OF BAPTISM NEW CHRISTIANS WERE COMPETELY BURIED IN WATER. THIS FORM OF BAPTISM WAS TO SYMBOLIZE THE DEATH AND AND BURIAL OF THE OLD WAY OF LIFE,FOLLOWED BY RESURRECTION TO LIFE WITH CHRIST. IF WE THINK OUR OLD SINFUL LIFE AS DEAD AND BURIED WE HAVE A POWERFUL MOTIVE TO RESIST SIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilee Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? According to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12 we see a kind of analogy to our spiritual life. Paul sees the act of baptism as a type of Jesus' own death and resurrection, and a vivid reminder of our union with him in both his death and resurrection. According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is a type of our own spiritual power. We share his power and privileges and being co-raised with him typifies the grace of God to us.

When it comes to resurrection, people died and came back from the dead when you have Christ. 2)The term "raised with Christ," is when a person died, the power of Christ raise that person from the grave and to be with Jesus.

According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? In that Baptism is the replica of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When immersed in water at baptism it indicates our death and burial with Jesus our old sinful way dead and buried and when we come out of water this indicates our rising, coming alive with Him. Being raised with Christ impart real spiritual power in us in the sense that when we rise with Christ we no longer live our own life but Christ's as it is the spirit and the power of God that leads us in all we do. We now live an entire new life in Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesjp Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Q3. How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? Ans. Christ’s death and burial is like the baptism of the believer being submerged dying to the old man (sin) and just as He was raised from death so is the believer raised and brought out of the water into a renewed life. The Bible says He was raised with all power in Him so are we given life with the power of God in us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haar Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 By our baptism we show our being dead and burried with Christ (emersion into water) and our resurrection with him into a new life where sin will no longer be our god/ master (as we come come out of water) and are then seated with Christ at the right hand of God. Our union with Christ imparts his Spirit power even the power of God that raised Christ from the dead is available for us that believe.

van Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Through baptism we are buried with Christ, and raised to live a new life for Christ.

tgandy Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Using immersion as the vehicle for Baptism one is "buried" in the water. Coming up out of the water symbolized the resurrection. We were dead in our sins. God loves us so much and by grace saved us. He saved us when he raised up His Son and He seated us with him in Heaven.

JoanG Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 When we are baptized, we are reborn into a state of sinlessness. All of our sins from the past are forgiven. We are redeemed into a new life. It is the same concept of Jesus dying on the cross and rising up into heaven. We can actually feel a change in our hearts and our souls after we are baptized. We are like a little child in a very new situation. We become a sponge to learn and feel the experiences of being a new Christian. There is a new purpose to our lives that is hard to explain to non-believers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webster52 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 How does Christ's death and resurrection provide an analogy for baptism according to Romans 6:3-5 and Colossians 2:12? Baptism is your personal identification and testimony with the greatest act of human history—the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As you stand in the water waiting to be baptized and are lowered, you symbolize Jesus willingly dying on the cross. As you are immersed into the water, you symbolize Jesus buried in the tomb. As you are raised from the water, you symbolize Jesus rising from the dead and you walk in newness of life. According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? I believe God made us alive together with Christ the moment we made Jesus our personal Saviour, therefore we are indwelled by the Holy Spirit who seals us. Ephesians 1:13-14a: “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance …” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Ephesians 2:4-6, while being "raised with Christ" is still spiritual, not physical, in what way does this union impart real spiritual power? When you are immersed in the water it is compared to when Jesus died and entered death. When you rise out of the water it signifies Jesus' resurrection. It is all spiritual, the bible is full of references telling us that the fight is spiritual therefore being raised is spiritual. This shows us that we have spiritual power through Christ Jesus.

Old Jerry Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The analogy for baptism is that we have been washed of our sins when we are baptized because Jesus died for them. Knowing that we are going to be raised up with Jesus keeps our faith going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
