Day 7

We start a new chapter this week in Romans. Remember, as we learned last week, God teaches us that He, through His Word, never encourages us to sin. But God uses His Word to bring our sin into His light (Ephesians 5:11–14) so that we walk in His Truth and not in darkness. We also learned that God’s grace abounds far beyond our sinfulness, so ...

As we read the questions in Romans 6:1 yesterday, we began to see how our sinful flesh tries to trick us into thinking that since God’s grace abounds so greatly, we should have no problem continuing in sin. Today, God continues to use Paul to ask questions we must take to heart to realize who we are in Christ. So, God has Paul ask in Romans 6...

Hopefully, you are not missing how powerful God’s Word is in Romans 6. Of course, all of God’s Word is powerful, but Romans 6 is packed full of God’s richness of everything He’s given us in Christ. Today is no different as God continues in Romans 6:5, “For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also...

So, it’s always a little difficult not to jump forward when writing devotions, especially when God’s Word all ties together as one. But today, we get to see more completely what God taught us yesterday, starting in Romans 6:5. So, we read in Romans 6:6–7, “knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin m...

The goodness of God continues to overflow each day of our lives. We must get into God’s Word daily because He feeds and fills us with the richness of all we have in Christ. When we rob ourselves of being in God’s Word, we starve ourselves spiritually and fall into temptations and snares that our enemy sets for us. God tells us in Romans 6:8–9...

From yesterday’s devotion, we know we no longer need to fear death. As we continue in Romans 6, God spells out what kind of death Christ died. We read in Romans 6:10–11, “For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in C...

With all God has shown us this week, hopefully, we are all walking in a more intimate fellowship with Him. God unfolds more of His rich Truth in Romans 6:12–14, “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but p...
