Romans 6:3-11
Do you not
know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into
His death? Therefore we have been buried
with Him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the
dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For
if we have been united with Him in a death like his, we will certainly be
united with Him in a resurrection like His. We
know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be
destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is
freed from sin. But if we have died
with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. We know that Christ, being raised from the
dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. The death He
died, He died to sin, once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead
to sin and alive to God in Jesus Christ.
May Easter happiness dwell in you.
