Or didn't you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace - a new life in a new land!

Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Romans 6:3 In-Context
1
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2
By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
