Theme for the Week: A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Reading: Romans 6:1-4
_______________________
Romans 6:4 (NIV)
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 Christ were to remain in the grave, believers would have been the worst of all people on earth. Glory be to God for raising Christ from the dead.
When Christ was taking the sins of the world into the grave, mine were part, and so were yours. And since our sins have been buried with Christ, we must have a new perspective of life that we will live in this new life.
As people who died with Christ, we should no longer live for sin, but for Christ, who counted us worthy to die with Him. When we believe that we died and buried all our sins with Christ, we can be sure that God shall raise us with power, just as Christ Jesus rose with power and glory.
Hallelujah!
Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we thank You for counting us worthy to die with Christ. Lord, may You raise us from death with power to overcome sin, just as You rose Jesus Christ with power and glory. Amen.
