Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:3-4)
The body slipping under the water in baptism represents burial, because the old life is dead. The body rising back out of the water represents resurrection, because we have a new life from Jesus Christ. If you have been baptised by immersion, you are a partaker of Christ's death. If you are a partaker of Christ's death, who was raised from the dead, you will also be restored to life, a new and better life.
If you have been considering baptism, perhaps now is the time to commit.
If you have been baptised, take a moment to remember your baptism, and what led you to it.
