Daily Bread – August 27, 2022 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) Romans 6:4 – Therefore, we were buried with Him by baptism into death; that just as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, in this way also, we may walk in newness of life. Walking In Newness Of Life We now live the life of the Spirit, or the life of the Heavenly realm, instead of a carnal and earthly life (Ephesians 2:6, 1:3; Romans 8:5-9; Philippians 3:20; John 3:5-6); and through living this Heavenly life, we are guaranteed that one day we will also have a physical resurrection. Whereas we were once separated from God because of sin, we are now separated (dead) from sin because of the life we have received in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:6,11,18, 22; 1 John 3:6; 2 Peter 1:9-11). If we would only enjoy the full benefits of this life and allow the Holy Spirit to continually fill us with this realm, then we would be raptured into the heavenly and not find it strange to be separate from the evil. We should give ourselves over completely to this ability to walk in this new sphere of life. If we take hold of everything God has said about us in His Word and accept it as ours, then faith will take us into the experience of the Word (2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Thessalonians 2:13). We may all say: I am crucified with Christ I am buried with Him by baptism into His death I am raised up together with Him I am alive together with Him And I am seated together with Him in the Heavenlies Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
