We imitate Christ’s death by being buried with him in baptism. If we ask what this kind of burial means, it means making a complete break with our former way of life, and our Lord himself said that this cannot be done unless a man is born again. In other words, we have to begin a new life, and we cannot do so until our previous life has been brought to an end. When we wish to reverse the direction of our lives there must be a death, to mark the end of one life and the beginning of another. It is a reversal from the old to the new. Staying the same is not salvation. Choose to turn and give your life to Christ.
