Baptized into Christ

“If God forgives by grace, why should I not sin?” This question has resurfaced in various forms since the time of Paul. His response to antinomianism—this idea that righteous living is optional for Christians—is rooted in the doctrine of union with Christ. In the last lesson, the far-reaching implications of being crucified with Christ were examined. In this lesson, Dr. Ferguson explains how we are united to Christ’s death and also how we are united to His resurrection life through baptism.
