Theme : " The power of the Risen One in our lives "
Text : Romans 6:5-7
5. For if we have become one plant with him by conformity to his death, we shall also be so by conformity to his resurrection, 6. knowing that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin was destroyed, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7. For he who is dead is free from sin.
Let's remember:
Jesus, in dying, was a weak plant; weakened by the sin of humanity which he had taken on. But in rising, all power was given to him in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Likewise, every child of God who receives Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour, and surrenders his life to him; that one dies with Jesus and also rises with him. He also receives a new authority that enables him to resist sin. The body of sin he bears no longer has the power to bind him to the obedience of the devil. This mystery is a real wonder for Christians because God takes charge of their battles. God also closes the doors of sin in their lives and gives them to be obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit. The foundation of sin is destroyed. That is why one who returns to a sinful life becomes like one who has washed but will still wallow in the mud. Let us keep the power of the Risen One intact without indulging in the pleasures of this world. Stay away from sin by walking in the Spirit so as not to fulfill the desires of the flesh. Excellent Saturday. Amen Alain Louz.-
