If you understand the step of obedience undertaken by baptism, you understand that it is to die. Living only to the glory of the Absolute Love.

Rom 6:3  "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?" 

This death is not a sacrifice, it is a discovery of new-abundant-everlasting life.

Rom 6:4  "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." 

Yes, eternal life, walking now in newness, then resurrected to ever increasing newness. There is no boredom in the presence of the Absolute love. He makes all things new. 

Rom 6:5  "For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his."
