S – Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead  by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness  of life. 5 For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be  in the likeness of his resurrection.

Romans 6:4,5 CSB

O – We are united with Christ by identifying with who He is as our savior.  To do that we have to believe that his physical actions enabled spiritual ramifications. His death  allowed for him to be raised up physically. It allowed us to spiritually crucify our sin and be raised up forgiven and clean.

A – The only way to live victoriously over sin is through Jesus.  Our hearts and lives must proclaim this truth in our thoughts, words and actions.  We are only fooling ourselves if we say it but do not believe it by faith in Christ.

R – Heavenly Father, Jesus is the one true way to a relationship with you.  We believe your truth and put our faith in you.  We identify with Christ’s burial and resurrection as it is displayed in our own lives.  We love you today!
