3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4a Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, - Romans 6:3-4a

The on-going presentation of ourselves as wholly devoted sacrifices to God each and every day forever.
