Did God also see us buried with Christ in the tomb?
Yes, God saw every believer buried with Christ in the tomb. Just as He saw us crucified on the cross in the person of Christ, He also saw us in the tomb, buried with Him. This is not by water but by God's own determination, identifying us with Christ's death and burial.
Les explains that just as surely as God saw us on the cross in the person of Christ, He saw us in the tomb. We are in the tomb, buried with Him—not by water, but by virtue of God determining that since He paid the sin debt for all, those who believe are dead and crucified with Christ. God saw us buried with Him in His death, in His tomb. Les further notes that we have also been resurrected with Him to a new life, totally different people because of the power of His resurrection. It is a God thing: God in His omnipotence, omniscience, and ability to work in the invisible has placed us in all these places, seeing every one of us crucified with Christ.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
