Walk in the newness of Life

Lady of Light

In Romans Chapter 6:1, Paul asks the question:
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"

Even though we know that as Christians, Christ died for our sins and we are forgiven, but that doesn't mean that we should just "keep on the same old way"

Paul says: "God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism not 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." (v. 2-4).

During this holiday season, let's think of "new" ways to respond to people as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Let's think of "new" ways to show kindness,
to give, to share, to comfort, to love, to celebrate.

Let's just "walk in the newness of the life free from sin that Jesus has given to us and thank and praise Him for it."

God Bless You and Have a Great Day!
