COLOSSIANS—NOTE ON Colossians 2:12 buried with him in baptism... also raised with him.... made alive together with him. Baptism represents an identification with Christ in his death (compare Romans 6:4). It also symbolizes his resurrection (compare Ephesians 2:6). Dying and rising with Christ symbolizes death to the power of sin and Satan as well as strength to live a new life (see Romans 6:3).
