New Life

What do you think of when you hear the phrase "new life?" Do you think of a new job, new home in a new land, or forming a completely new identity like those who enter the witness protection program? All of those are possible situations for starting a new life. However, that is not what God meant when he told us in Romans 6:4 "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may life a new life." He meant, that we as believers in Him ask Jesus into our hearts, confess our sins, be baptized, and then change our ways and try to be as much like Him and His son Jesus as possible. How do you do that you ask? You go to a church of your preference, start spending time with other Christians, and reading your Bible. I hope you all enjoy your "new life" as much as I have.
