- The cross of Christ is the center of God’s gospel! Without the cross there would be no salvation, there would be no hope for man (Gal 5:1-2; Rom 5:19).
- Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! By believing in Jesus, we believe by faith that when Christ hung on the cross, our old self hung with Him and died. Therefore, the sin that enslaved our old self no longer has power over us! In this way, we have been set free from sin and the old self (Romans 7:23-25).
- Our old self not only died, but was also buried in death through baptism. The very moment we believed in Jesus, the Holy Spirit baptized us. Perhaps not everyone is aware of this, but we were baptized and became members of the Body of Christ! This was the reality. However, after this spiritual fact, we need to confirm this reality through water baptism. This is the confirmation, a testimony that we have been baptized by the Holy Spirit (Rom 6:3-6; 1 Cor 12:12-13).
- “When the conscience does not act, the person has no restraint and thinks he can do anything. Thanks to the Lord, our heart aims to do God’s will” (1 Tim 1:19) (Daily Food, Book 7, Week 2, Thursday, p. 28).
