Walk In The Newness of Life

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life – Romans 6:4.

                 God wants us to walk in the newness of life just as He was risen from the dead. To walk in newness of life, we need to leave the old life behind and live in Christ. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new - 2 Corinthians 5:17. Once we become a new creation, God will start to make all things new in our life. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert - Isaiah 43:19. Behold, I make all things new - Revelation 21:5.

               To put on the new man, our old man should be put off and our mind should be renewed. That you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness - Ephesians 4:22-24. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God - Romans 12:2.

                 To walk in the newness of life, we need to set our mind on things above. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth - Colossians 3:2. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus - Ephesians 2:5. God will give us a new heart and spirit to walk in newness of life. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh - Ezekiel 36:26.

                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to walk in the newness of life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
