Scripture: Romans 6:4-8
4 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. 5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Observation:
What does verse 6 say happens to our old self and our sin?
They are done away with—crucified with Christ.
After our old self dies with Christ what happens (v. 4 & 5)?
We are brought back to life, to a new life. The new life is the one God desires us to live—it’s the life in which we have a close relationship with him.
Application:
Have you been living your new life to the fullest?
God sent Jesus not only to die for our sins, but also to open the door for us to have the best life possible—to walk with God!
Make sure you’re taking full advantage of the life you can have in God by spending time with him and his Word.
Prayer:
Thank God for sending his son to take away your sins and to give you a new life. Make a commitment to God to begin (or continue) living your life how he has intended (if you make a commitment to God then you need to keep it!).
