Scriptural Focus: Romans 6:1-11 The Resurrection Opens Up a New . Because Jesus is alive, everything has changed. “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.” (Romans 6:3-4) In Christ, We Are Given New . We don’t just believe in the resurrection we share in it. 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. (Romans 6:5) Baptism Invites Us to That New Life Baptism declares that the old is gone and new life has begun. “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 7:37-38) Where in your life might you still be living as though the old life defines you, rather than the new life Christ has already given you? Where do you sense Jesus inviting you to surrender or to step out in faith? Journal a prayer.
