Daily Bible Reading – June 2022: God’s Renewing Word of New Life in the SpiritНамуна

June 1

Introduction

The apostle Paul explains baptism as being buried with Christ and sharing in his death to be raised to live a new life.

Scripture Reading

Romans 6:1-14

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) responds to Romans 5:20, wherein Paul says that “Law was introduced in order to increase wrongdoing; but where sin increased, God’s grace increased much more.” What are your thoughts concerning Paul’s response? What does Paul say in verse 2? How does living under God’s grace (verse 14) impact your life?

Pray

Lord God, living under your grace has set me free from the power of sin so that I now live in fellowship with you through Christ Jesus. Now that I have died to sin, may I live each day according to your will. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
