Not by Moses - but by Jesus. Third, Paul says 3. God made you alive with Christ. Before they were baptized, Vicken and Caroline shared how they had come to trust in Jesus as their Savior. Then they were baptized - as believers in Jesus Christ.
Baptism symbolizes our new life in Jesus - a whole new basis for living.
Fourth, Paul says, 4. Put simply - Sin is no longer and issue in our relationship with God. It affects our fellowship with God - but not our relationship. We need to acknowledge our sin in order to enter into the benefit of God s forgiveness - but forgiveness is already there in the heart of God. We re free.
