Romans 6:5, 7-11 NLT

[5] Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 

(This takes us back to Paul talking about baptism and how that signifies connection with Jesus death)

[7] For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 

(A reminder again that we are free from sin's power)

[8] And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. 

(And we have now entered into Life! 

Don't rush past this truth today!

"We know we also live with him" - how good is that?)

[9] We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.

(This is our sign, our security - death no longer has any power over Jesus, and we're alive with him, so we're all good)

 [10] When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 

(No rerun needed - it's done.)

[11] So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

(Step into today knowing that we are alive to God thru Jesus - we get to live more and more in this fully aliveness...how can we embrace this today?)
