Romans 6:2-4 English Standard Version

2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Father God gave us this seed of faith in order that we might plant it in His Son’s sacrifice upon the Cross. 

How can we do that? The scriptures tell us how.

Psalm 51:16-17 English Standard Version

16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Psalm 34:18 English Standard Version (ESV) The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

When we come to terms with our brokenness and trust that only God can save us, we must take that seed of faith to heart and allow it to die on our cross.

Matthew 16:24-25 English Standard Version

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[soul] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Too heavy a burden for us mere mortals? Not to worry just as Jesus had help from Simon of Cyrene, we too have been sent a Helper.
