You must realize the futility of life lived without God. No, not really. But it is a dead end without God. It is the same predicament in which Israel found herself. Like Israel we have no choice but to follow God through the water to salvation that only he can provide.
Salvation is the same for everyone.
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. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. Seeing isn't the same as believing. Understanding the guidance of God and seeing our way clear to obey his leading are two entirely different matters. God had taken the Hebrews by the hand to lead them out of Egypt.
