Resurrection Power promise #2

I can walk in ______________ of life.

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴ We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.                                                        Romans 6:3-4

Whatever was my old way of living, doesn’t have to ____________ me into the future.

 

Resurrection Power promise #3

Resurrection Power promise #5

Sin will not be my ____________

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. ¹⁴ For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.                                                                                  Romans 6:12-14
