A New Life for Christ

Christ’s love and resurrection motivates us in evangelism

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 He has given us new life

New Life comes from Christ

We were dead in our trespasses and sins

Romans 5 While we were yet sinners

Christ came when we were weak and helpless and rescued us

He came to rescue us from this death

He took the penalty of death upon himself as an inoccent substitute

He rose victorious over death and brought it under submission

New Life brings freedom from slavery

We should no longer live for ourselves

We are no longer slaves to the law

The law condemns all people

We can follow the rule but we cannot satisfy the purposes of the law (Romans 7:7-25)

We are no longer slaves to sin

We can have victory over all sins

Romans 6

New Life brings us into relationship with Christ

Eternal life in Christ

Members as Instruments of Righteousness unto God

We are tools in the hand of God

Allowing him to control our lives and use us for his glory
