Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should WALK IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE.”
(Romans 6:4)

Birth is the beginning of a living process that lasts a lifetime. Receiving the Holy Ghost, born again, is not the finish line, but is the start of a new life style in Christ that involves experience, knowledge, learning, and a spiritual education. When a baby is born, one of its basic instincts is wanting to be fed. By the same token a healthy new born saint has a desire to be fed too. “AS new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.” (I Pet. 2:2) A baby knows nothing and must be taught or instructed in things pertaining to life as it grows, so do saints need to be educated in the way of God and instructed as to the acceptable conduct before man and God. HOLINESS is that new way of life, pleasing God and not ourselves.

(Hebrews 12:14)
