Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Hope预览

  

April 29

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: Romans 6:8

Since we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

Today’s Reading 

Romans 6:1-23

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
