Presentation Transcript

  1. Newness of Life Rom. 6:1-4

  2. Introduction • Through obedience to the gospel, we die to the old man of sin, and are made alive to God in Christ Jesus (Rom. 6:1-4, 8-11). • What does it mean for one to be raised to walk in newness of life?

  3. New Creature/Creation • When one is raised to walk in newness of life, he is a new creature/creation (2 Cor. 5:16-17; Gal. 6:14-15). • The old self must be laid aside, replaced by the spiritually-renewed self which is made in the likeness of God (Eph. 4:17-24, 25-32).

  4. New Commandment • When one is raised to walk in newness of life, he follows a new commandment, loving God and man (Matt. 22:36-40; John 13:34-35). • Failure in either regard is deadly serious (John 5:39-42; 1 John 3:11-18).

  5. New Covenant • When one is raised to walk in newness of life, he is obedient to a new covenant (Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 8:7-13). • Instituted with the shed blood of Jesus (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:25), this covenant is written, not on tablets of stone, but upon fleshly tablets of the heart (2 Cor. 3:1-6).

  6. New Connection • When one is raised to walk in newness of life, he enjoys a new connection (Acts 2:38-47; Eph. 2:11-22). • In this spiritual family, God is our Heavenly Father, Christ is our elder brother, and fellow-disciples are our brothers and sisters.

  7. Conclusion • When one is raised to walk in newness of life, he is focused on a new goal – a new heavens and a new earth (2 Pet. 3:8-13). • Any who would legitimately hope for such must be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless (2 Pet. 3:14-18).
