(a)
‘We know that our old self was crucified’ (Romans 6:6) - What a great
thing God has done! He has made you ‘a new creation in Christ’ (2
Corinthians 5:17). (b) ‘Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God
in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 6:11) - Believe it. This is what the Lord has
done: ‘you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit... the Spirit of
God dwells in you... Christ is in you... the Spirit of Him who raised
Jesus from the dead dwells in you... His Spirit dwells in you’ (Romans
8:9-11). (c) ‘Yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from
death to life’ (Romans 6:13) - Act upon it’. ‘Walk in newness of life’
(Romans 6:4). Live as those whom God has made new. We are ‘not under law
but under grace’ (Romans 6:14). Keep your eyes fixed on the Saviour and
your obedience will be Gospel obedience and not merely legal obedience.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
