Theme for the Week: RAISED AND SEATED IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS TO SHOW GOD'S KINDNESS IN CHRIST
Reading: Romans 6:4-5
_______________________
Romans 6:5 NIV
[5] For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Baptism isn't merely a ritual or tradition; it's a powerful declaration of our faith and identification with Christ. As we are submerged beneath the waters, we symbolically die to our old selves — the sinful nature and the bondage of sin.
This act of baptism signifies our spiritual resurrection. It is the moment when we are raised and seated in the heavenly realms with Christ. It is a tangible expression of God's kindness towards us in Christ Jesus, demonstrating His grace and mercy in washing away our sins and granting us new life.
We are no longer slaves to sin but participants in His death and resurrection. Our lives are now hidden with Christ in God, and our every action should reflect this new reality.
Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we praise You. Lord, as we have been buried with Christ, may our lives be hidden in You, in Jesus' name. Amen.
