How The Cross Changed Me

Thank God for Grace

Jury delivers verdict: not guilty;

peace for a new life.

Romans 5:21 NKJV

so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:1–4 ESV

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 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.

I. Living for Jesus has changed me.

A. Overcoming the burden of sin.

B. Grace is God’s forgiveness to walk with Him.

II. The world is changing around us. Am I going in the same direction?

Am I experiencing newness of life in Jesus Christ?

Counting my Blessings:

I came to church today.

I am saved by God’s Grace

I praise and worship His Holy Name.

I love Jesus Christ.

I am free of a life of sin.

III. Created to serve Christ

Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.
