NT 2. Student Choice. week 5.

Choice 3.

1. the "body of sin must be destroyed" before baptism.
2. Christ's death and resurrection.  Christ died, laid down his life- like when we lay down in the font when we are baptized. and He rose again, like when we come up out of the font.
3. Someone cannot be baptized by sprinkling because it does not "cover" your entire being.
4. Newness of life is walking with God.  Once we are baptized, we are cleansed and are close to God.
5. The natural man.

Christ atoned for our sins so that we could become the servants of righteousness.  Not the servants of sin.  When we were servants of sin, we were free from righteousness.  But now being made free from sin, we become servants of God.  The true source of freedom is Jesus Christ, our Lord.
