Verse 3
3. Baptized into Jesus Christ Of this self-consecrating act of faith baptism is the external manifestation and profession. The apostle, therefore, holds that our act of baptism consecrates us into Christ, as if our persons mystically became particles and parts incorporated into the holy person of the blessed Jesus, so that we are figured as identified with his body.
Baptized into his death This same faith, symbolized by baptism, incorporates the points of our history into the most eminent points of Christ’s history. We are made in a manner to die in his death.
