As in the case with eschatology I have heard many views on what they think about Christ being risen from the dead within this context of scripture Paul writes talking about our new life when we have been risen with Christ from the waters of baptism. Once someone has been emursed in water they then are risen with him and then become a new creator. It seems like today preachers and ministering evangelists being putting way too much emphasis on water baptism then they do with emphasizing more the resurrection of body and soul in which Christ dwells in. Once we have put on Christ in the waters of baptism we then be risen with Christ that is more then just being risen in baptism, it is a conscious state of mind which the mind surrenders to the spirit. When we can allow the spirit of Christ to dwell in us then we are richly covered with his blood, it does not matter how many times we fall Jesuss blood continues to cleanse us of our sins. When I look throughout the OT I see Gods plan unfold as he has with his children which the first covenant was with where the blood of bulls and goats were sacrificed in order to roll back the sins of the people back then, this is synonymous with Gods plan of redeeming man today we have the book of life whereby we can read and study from and to follow whereas in the OT there were only the priests who could interviene. Now we have the gospel the mystery that has been searched for years by the prophets of times of old.
