A NEW YOU

A NEW YOU

   Knowing this, that our old man is 

crucified with him, that the body of sin 

might be destroyed, that henceforth we 

should not serve sin. For he that is dead is 

freed from sin (Romans 6:6-7).

The Bible says,  “But God, who is rich in mercy, 

for  his  great  love  wherewith  he  loved  us, 

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us 

together  with  Christ,  (by  grace  ye  are  saved;)  And 

hath raised us up together, and made us sit together 

in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”  (Ephesians 2:4-6). 

When  Jesus  died,  we  died  with  Him.  When  He 

was  buried,  we  were  buried  with  Him.  When  God 

raised Him from the dead, we were raised together 

with Him. We were in Him in His death, burial, and 

resurrection. 

Romans 4:24-25 says, “But for us also, to whom 

it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised 

up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered 

for  our  offences,  and  was  raised  again  for  our 

justification.” We weren’t justified because He died; 

we  were  justified  because  He  was  raised  from  the 

dead. He was raised from the dead, a new man; He 

was born again. 

Jesus  heads  up  the  new  creation.  He  came  up 

with a new life and so, the Bible says,  “Therefore if 

any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things 

are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 

(2 Corinthians 5:17). This new creation has no past; 

there’s no sin in him. His resurrection gave you a brand 

new life. You’re not the man that sinned; that’s the “old 

man,” and he’s dead. Hallelujah! 

A  new  YOU  was  born  at  the  resurrection: 

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into 

death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead 

by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk 

in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). Blessed be God! 

PRAYER

Blessed  Lord,  thank  you  for  the  life  I’ve  received 

through  the  resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ.  As  Christ 

rose from the dead, I came alive with Him; therefore, 

I walk in this newness of life. I reign and rule in life 

today as a king, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
