“When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace – a new life in a new land!  That’s what 
baptism into the life of Jesus means.  When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus.”  Rom. 6:3 (Mes.)
 
“Going under the water was a burial of your old life; coming up out of it was a resurrection, God raising you from the dead as He did Christ.”  Col. 2:12 (Mes)

5.  BY ________________________________________ TO HIM

Regularly – Occasionally – Rarely
6.  BY ________________________________________ TO HIM

Regularly – Occasionally – Rarely
