Catechism Reading:

Fourth

What does such baptizing with water indicate?

It indicates that the Old Adam in us

should by daily contrition and repentance

be drowned and die with all sins and evil desires,

and that a new man should daily emerge and arise

to live before God in righteousness and purity forever.

Where is this written?

 St. Paul writes in Romans chapter six:

"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" (Romans 6:4).
