BASIC SCRIPTURE FOR 25th February 2024
BASIC SCRIPTURE Romans 6:1-7 (NIV):
1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
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 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.
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
This passage from Romans 6 emphasizes the transformative power of baptism, symbolizing the believer’s identification with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It speaks to the idea that through Christ, believers are freed from the power of sin and enabled to live a new life in righteousness.
