       Verse 4 again, “We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” Here it is again. Christ was raised from the dead by God’s glory. We were raised from the dead by God’s glory. Now what? We, just as Christ does now, might walk in newness of life. Newness of life means there must be a difference between our new life and our old one. Paul has drawn a line here. He has said that as Christians we walk in a way that is dramatically different than the way we used to walk. A positive change is present. Those who used to live with their partner before marriage don’t do that anymore. The person who used to steal things had decided that she doesn’t want to do that any longer. The person who used to be extremely negative and hard to get along with, is becoming more hopeful and optimistic and friendly and nicer.
