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).
