This is a powerful verse that speaks to the heart of the Christian faith. It reminds us that through our baptism, we are united with Christ in his death and resurrection. This union with Christ is transformative and changes the way we live our lives. It is a reminder that we are no longer slaves to sin but have been given new life in Christ. There is something truly beautiful about the symbolism of baptism. As we go under the water, we are buried with Christ, and as we come up out of the water, we are raised to new life with Him. This powerful image of death and rebirth reminds us that through our faith in Christ, we have been given a fresh start. We have been washed clean of our sins and given the opportunity to live a new life in Him. This is a gift that we should never take for granted. Through our baptism, we are given a new identity. We are no longer defined by our past mistakes or our old way of life. Instead, we are defined by our union with Christ. We are his brothers and sisters, co-heirs with him in the Kingdom of God. This new identity gives us hope and a sense of purpose. It reminds us that we are loved and valued by God and that we have an important role to play in his plan for the world.
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a heart full of gratitude for the amazing gift of salvation that You have given me through faith in Jesus Christ. Thank You for the sacrifice of Your Son on the cross, which has made it possible for me to die to sin and be raised to new life in Him. Help me to continually remember and live in the truth that I have been baptized into Christ's death and resurrection. Let me walk in the newness of life and daily surrender to Your will, knowing that I am a new creation in Christ. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
