Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? That is the very hinge of our religion. His death, not into his example merely, nor primarily into his life, but “into his death.” In this we have believed — with a dying Saviour we are linked, and our baptism sets this forth. We “were baptized into...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? If we are in Christ at all, we are partakers of his death; and as his was a death for sin and a death to sin, we are made partakers of it; we are really dead because Christ died, and we are in him. Therefore we are dead to the old life, to the old way...

For he that is dead is freed from sin. The man is dead. The law cannot ask more of a criminal than to yield his life.

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. So we, being raised from our former death, shall die no more; death hath no more dominion over us.
