1. Review Romans 6:1–13 and answer the following questions in writing:
o What must be done with sin before baptism can occur?
become dead to sin, not serve sin
o What events from Christ’s life are symbolized in baptism?
the baptism of Christ, the resurrection
o Considering this symbolism, why couldn’t someone be baptized by sprinkling?
the resurrection is symbolized by full submersion and coming up anew. You can't come up new by just sprinkling.
o What do these verses teach us about how we can maintain the “newness of life”?
by keeping away from sin and becoming instrument of righteousness unto God.
o According to Mosiah 3:19, what part of us would ideally die at baptism?
the natural man
2. Study Romans 6:14–23. Write a paragraph that describes how we know whose servant we are. Then write a statement identifying the true source of freedom.
we are servants of Christ and we can know that by doing righteousness and following Christ we are no longer servants of sin. The true source of freedom comes from following Christs instructions and being his servants here on the earth.
