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.
Dear God, you gave me a new life through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Help me not be bound by my past, nor my current status, but put my hope in the future glory you promised. Let me live with obedience to your word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And be a witness from death to life. Amen.
