He said, when you read that Romans 6 passage, he said, I moved from why do I have to do that to baptism. Why would I not want to do that?

You see it, John. I think that's the thing. It's not about the baptism of something you have to do. You have to read all this through that lens again. You read it through the lens of God's presence, because what's happening in this section here is he's building a case, kind of like it's a story that's unfolding. So this part of the story is about the death.

It's about Christ's death, but it's also about our own death because he's like, you're going to die in your sins unless you believe in me. So it's about getting connected. But if you read Romans 6, it's not just about death. It's also about being connected with the resurrection of Christ.

And so baptism, you know, Peter says it's not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but it's a pledge of a good conscience towards God that saves you by the resurrection. So you're also being connected with the resurrection, which I think is why – The very next part of John 8, Jesus is talking now about how do you abide in him? How do you find true freedom?

It's to abide, to live in the presence, to abide in his word. So it's like from death... That's the picture that he's continuing to paint.

When what he's actually saying, no, no, no, you come to Jesus, you will get that. But no, what's important is the quality of the life that you're going to get. So the freedom is what you're after. Exactly. They're going to give you a better quality of life. You're going to get the good life. That's what we're after, good life.
