Meditating on the Scriptures - Day 123

  • Now you know where pastors get some of the baptism liturgy (v. 4). What does baptism literally represent?
  • How are you using your eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet, etc. as instruments of unrighteousness? How are you using them as instruments of righteousness?
  • Why does Paul urge us to become slaves to obedience and righteousness? Are you passionate about obeying Christ? How are you sinning by failing to obey him?

Romans 6English Standard Version (ESV)

Dead to Sin, Alive to God


Slaves to Righteousness

  1. The baptism of water first represents the death of the old self (burial) and rising to new life in Christ. The act of baptism shows, to family & friends, that we are not ashamed of being a Christ follower/believer. It's not just that we want to put on a "show or display" but proclaiming Jesus as our Lord and Savior, that He died for our sins, resurrected on the third day, with the promise of returning for His church, and instructing us to make more disciples. It becomes a way of life that seeks to honor God, in words & deeds.
