Paul and the baptism: Sin must not be your master; for you do not live under law but under God's grace. Romans 6:14

The sacrament of baptism has a special meaning for the Christian life, because baptism is a special anointing, by which a grace is communicated. And a great example of this was John the Baptist who at the Jordan River called people to the true conversion. It must be understood, however, that in Christian mysticism there are two baptisms, one in water and one in fire. Lord Jesus was baptized in water by John in the Jordan, but the disciples were baptized in fire at Pentecost. The Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of God's perfections, is in essence the same mystery of the Holy Spirit that with his infinite grace transforms men to fulfill God's plan.
The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans wrote about the importance of baptism to enter into the new life, to leave behind the old man subject to death and thus accept what the new Adam offers. And to make clear the change that this sacrament implies, Paul compared the change that baptism produces with the death and resurrection of our Lord: "When we were baptized, we died and were buried with Christ. We were baptized, so we would live a new life, as Christ was raised to life by the glory of God the Father" Romans 6:4.
Paul with devotion wrote about the importance of being new men made in the image of Christ, because as the gospel teaches: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" Matthew 5:48. And with these words, Paul emphasized his teaching: "Sin must not be your master; for you do not live under law but under God's grace" Romans 6:14.
Error is a contradiction in the life of a Christian; baptism is the response of man's heart to God's call; the righteous life that comes with baptism pleases God and transforms man and society.
