Romans 6:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Romans 6:4

2 Certainly not! How shall we who ^adied to sin live any longer in it?

3 Or do you not know that ^aas many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus ^bwere baptized into His death?

4 Therefore we were ^aburied with Him through baptism into death, that ^bjust as Christ was raised from the dead by ^cthe glory of the Father, ^deven so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 ^aFor if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

6 knowing this, that ^aour old man was crucified with Him, that ^bthe body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

7 For ^ahe who has died has been freed from sin.

8 Now ^aif we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

Romans 6:4

We are buried with him - Alluding to the ancient manner of baptizing by immersion. That as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory - Glorious power. Of the Father, so we also, by the same power, should rise again; and as he lives a new life in heaven, so we should walk in newness of life. This, says the apostle, our very baptism represents to us.
