Colossians 2:12 ” …having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, Who raised Him from the dead.”

The act of water baptism is  full of symbolism and meaning.  For those watching, it’s a public declaration of the person’s inner  decision.  For the person being baptized, it’s a time of newness of soul and spirit.  In Romans 6:4 it says, ” We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”  Therefore, within the action of water baptism, our old self dies, and our new self  emerges out of the water.
