Romans 5,8,5,&6

Hallelujah Father, today I receive the abundance of your grace and the gift of your righteousness, and therefore, I reign in life today. That is, I have no fear of death or what man might do to me. Through Christ’s righteousness I am justified.

Justification is a free gift given to me by your grace, Father. I did not earn it or deserve it, but I don’t have to. It is a free gift given to me by the decision of you, God, my Father.

Now I’m baptized into Christ Jesus. I was buried with him through baptism into death, and just as Christ was raised from the dead by your glory, Father, even so, now I walk in the newness of life.

I’m united with Jesus in the likeness of his death, and it is certain I shall also be united with my Lord in his resurrection.

I know that my old man was crucified with him so that my body of sin was done away with. Now I am no longer slave to sin. I live with Christ. The life he lives, he lives to God. I am indeed dead to sin, but alive to you, Father, in Christ Jesus, my Lord.
