—Romans 6:1-11
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Satan is a wonderful liar. One of his biggest (and most successful) lies is that a Christian is no different today than she was before asking Christ into her heart. He can be heard whispering, “You are the same old loser you have always been,” or “Why do you even bother trying to fight the urge when you know you’re just going to do it?” The truth, though, is that we are different. Paul pointed out that we have been raised with Christ so that we can walk in “newness of life” (v.4). Our old, flesh-driven self has been buried; we now walk with the Spirit of God Himself living in our hearts!
