Walking in Newness of Life (Part Four)

Romans 6:4: “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” That is the hope you carry. As a believer you are not waiting for your old life to get better. You are walking in the power of a new one. And that new life is not vague or distant. It is available to you today, through the same glory of the Father that raised Christ from the dead. Resurrection hope meets you at every turn in life. It reminds you that burial is not abandonment. It is preparation. God does not waste the hard seasons. He uses them to make space for what He is about to do.
