Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 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. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. (Rom 6:3-4, 8:11; 2Cor 5:17; Eph 4:1, 21-24)
