915. Baptized for the Dead.

By Editor

PLEASE explain 1 Cor. 15: 29. M. J. O.

What we see in that verse is this: The wages of sin is death. Man, being a sinner, is doomed to death. Christ took our sins and died for us. When we believe on Him, we show our faith in His death, burial, and resurrection by baptism. We are “baptized into His death,” “buried with Him by baptism into death.” Rom. 6: 3, 4. We are to reckon ourselves “to be dead indeed unto sin.” Our hope is in Christ and His resurrection. So they are baptized unto this death in the hope of the resurrection in Christ.
