The Power of the Word -- Part 3

The Power of the Word (Part 3)

Some powerful verses taken from today's reading from the DAILY LIGHT:

. . . that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.

Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and . . . be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and . . . put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.—. . . that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. . . .

We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. . . .

So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. (1 Pet. 2:24; Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 3:3; Rom. 6:4, 6, 7, 11-13 )

As you prepare your heart for celebrating the Lord's Day tomorrow, rejoice in what Christ has accomplished for you on the cross. Hallelujah! What a Savior! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
