NEWNESS OF LIFE

What shall we say? Are we to remain in sin in order that

God’s grace may multiply and overflow?

Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any

longer?

Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been

baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into

death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by

the glorious power of the Father, so we too might live and

behave in newness of life.

For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like

His, we shall also … Continue Reading

MADE NEW IN THE SPIRIT

MADE NEW IN THE SPIRIT

For when we were in the flesh,

the sinful passions which were

awakened by the Law were at

so that we should serve in the

newness of the Spirit

and not in the oldness

SUPERABUNDANT FAVOR

SUPERABUNDANT FAVOR

OUR RESPONSE TO

GOD’S SUPERABUDANT

FAVOR

is to yield ourselves as a

living sacrifice to God

as we shall see in the

following verses.

(Those of us who were

baptized into Christ Jesus

were baptized into His death.

We were buried therefore

with Him through baptism into

death, so that just as Christ was

raised from the dead by the

glory of the Father, even so

we also should walk in newness

of life.

( Romans 6.1-3).

Meditate and … Continue Reading
