Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
If we've died with Christ (like, really died to our old way of living), then we believe we're going to live with him too.
When you die to your old self with Christ, you get to live a whole new life with him.
📚 Historical Context
In the mid-1st century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to explain the gospel's implications for both Jewish and Gentile believers, emphasizing salvation by faith and freedom from sin. In Romans 6, Paul is addressing how baptism symbolizes a believer's union with Christ's death and resurrection, countering the misconception that grace allows for ongoing sin. This verse builds on that by assuring Christians of their shared life with Christ as a result of this spiritual union.
