Daily Bible Reading–January 2021 God's Word of LifeНамуна
January 5
Introduction
Paul explains being baptized as dying to sin and being raised to life just as Jesus died and was raised to life by God.
Today's Scripture Reading
Romans 6:1-23
Today’s Key Verse: Romans 6:8
Since we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Reflect
The opening rhetorical question (verse 1) is in response to Romans 5:20 and 21 (see yesterday’s reading). Verse 15 is a similar rhetorical question. What does Paul say in verse 2? What does living a new life mean to you? Why does Paul exhort us to become “slaves of righteousness” (verse 18)?
Pray
Holy God, I surrender myself to your will in order that I might become a slave of righteousness for holy purposes. You have set me free from sin, and I dedicate my life to you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those burdened by the weight of sin
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 60:1-22: The future glory of Jerusalem is described.
Scripture
