Daily Fountain Devotional 26 June 2022 MESSAGE
A popular secular adage says “knowledge is power.” Jesus in John 8:32, said “…you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” Against this backdrop, Paul emphasised the need for every believer to know the truth about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and its effect over sin.
What are these truths? They are:
- Our baptism in Christ shows that we died, got buried with Him and resurrected to a new life, just as Christ died, got buried and resurrected to life (vv. 3-4);
-
Our old sinful life was crucified with Him on the cross, therefore, we died to sin and are freed from the power of sin (vv. 6-7);
-
Christ was crucified, died once for all and resurrected to destroy the power of sin and enable us to live for God (vv. 9-10). We must therefore know that the power of sin on the believer has been totally destroyed. Christ paid the ransom with His life to set us free.
This knowledge must be absorbed into our blood stream to prevent us from going back to our old life of sin. The new life and sin are mutually exclusive. Read 2 Corinthians 5:17 and consider yourself dead to sin but alive to God in Christ!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for granting us victory over sin. Amen
