Christ Is In Us. Let's Wak In Newness Of Life.

Romans 5:1-21
God has great things in store for His people! (a) ‘Much more’(9-10): ‘Justified by Christ’s blood’, ‘reconciled to God’, ‘We shall be saved by Christ from the wrath of God’, ‘saved by His life’. (b) ‘Much more’(15,17): ‘The grace of God’ has ‘abounded for many’. In Christ, we have ‘received the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness’. Through Him, we shall‘reign in life’. (c) ‘More than that’(3): Our pathway to eternal glory will not be easy. There will be ‘suffering’. God has given us a glimpse of our eternal destiny: ‘grace reigning through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’(21). ‘We rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God’(2). Having caught sight of the heavenly and eternal glory, we see our ‘suffering’ in a new light, the light of ‘God’s love’(3-5).

Romans 6:1-23
(a) ‘We know that our old self was crucified’(6) - What a great thing God has done! He has made you ‘a new creation in Christ’(2 Corinthians 5:17). (b) ‘Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus’(11) - Believe it. This is what the Lord has done: ‘you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit... the Spirit of God dwells in you... Christ is in you... the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you... His Spirit dwells in you’(8:9-11). (c) ‘Yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life’(13) - Act upon it’. ‘Walk in newness of life’(4). Live as those whom God has made new. We are ‘not under law but under grace’(14). Keep your eyes fixed on the Saviour and your obedience will be Gospel obedience and not merely legal obedience.
