DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 2; Jeremiah 10; Ephesians 4:1-16
Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4
On the cross the Lord Jesus bore our sins in His own body. Our whole sinful case and condition was taken up into His Person and was brought to an end in His death. This great work was completed at His resurrection. On confession of Jesus as Lord we formally surrender our life of sin, and rise in the strength of His resurrection to newness of life. Thereafter, though sin is not eradicated, we have the assurance that “sin shall not have dominion over us”. —Drew Craig
I am resolved to follow the Saviour, faithful and true each day;
Heed what He sayeth; do what He willeth; He is the living Way.—Palmer Hartsough
