“For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.” Rom. 6:5 (ESV) In the previous verse scripture explains that we have been buried with Jesus by baptism. In other words, we died like Jesus and this is why our verse says we are united with Jesus in death. And this death is death to sin. Even better, we will have a resurrection like Jesus’ resurrection. We are united with Jesus; he is the head and we are his body. So we go through his death, and we go through his resurrection. We will have the new glorious body and spirit that he had when he rose from the dead!
