Easter Devotional Seven

DAY SEVEN

Because of my death - He died. Because He’s alive - I live.

 

Daily Introduction:

Each day, begin by slowly declaring the truth below aloud. Let the words shape your heart before you move on. Sit with the statement and carry it as your declaration for the day. Then prayerfully read the Scripture passage. Read it more than once. Notice a word or phrase that stands out and linger there with the Lord. Finally, respond to Him through the reflection questions. Journal your honest responses. Invite the Holy Spirit to speak His heart and reveal where this truth meets your real life today.

 

Truth:

He took my death and gave me His life. I am made new.

 

Verse:

Romans 6:4-5

“For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Since we have been united with Him in His death, we will also be raised to life as He was.”

 

Reflection:

What does it feel like and mean that I am one with Christ in death and resurrection life?

What does “newness of life” look like in my daily relationships, habits, and hopes?

Where is Jesus inviting me to step fully into resurrection life instead of lingering in the grave of my old ways?
