What takes place when someone has been baptized by immersion (Rom. 6:1–6)?

Baptism is a life and death matter. Paul says I have been crucified
with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in
me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in
the Son of God. (Gal 2:20)

Paul expounds on this life and death matter in Romans by explaining
that when we are baptized , we are baptized into Christ's death.
This simply means that Just as Christ died on the cross when
we accept what He did for us on the Cross we die too. We die to
or old way of living in order to live a new way , following the
example of Jesus.

In Ephesians Paul talks about how we formally lived following after
Satan. We lived this way because we were dead in our sins, but
when we accept Christ we are raised up to live a different way
following Jesus. (Eph. 2:1-10)

Read again Romans 6:1–6. How have you experienced the reality of Paul's words there? How has your "newness of life" in Christ changed you? What have you been spared from? In what areas do you still need more change? How can you better cooperate with the Lord, who offers to wash away your sins?

Prayer: Father we thank you for for what you did for us in Christ. I pray that you may empower us to walk in the newness of life. Please help us to live more like Jesus each day. Thank you in Jesus name we pray amen.

I would like to know more about baptism.
