New Life, New Nature & Freedom
(Prayer Walk thro Rom 6-11)
Backgrounder: Paul anticipates
the questions that will arise from
hearing gospel of grace. If God’s
grace is free, then am I free to sin?
If I am free from the law, then can
I ignore the ethical demands of
the law? Paul has no illusions that
becoming a Christian means the
end of your troubles. Rather it may
be only the beginning! But the life
-giving Spirit provides confidence,
and intercession for victorious
Christian living in the storms
and complexities of everyday life.
Lord, thank you that because You
have given us New Life, we can be
certain that sin’s power is broken.
Thank you that because you have
given us New Nature, we can see
ourselves as unresponsive to
the old power & alive to the new.
Thank You that because You have
given us New Freedom, we can
commit ourselves to obey Christ.
So Lord, help us Freely Serve You;
help us Pray with Your Spirit; and
help us Share the Gospel. Amen.
