"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"
Romans 6:4-5
The new year reminds me of this baptism imagery of symbolic life and death... dying to sin to walk in newness of life... a life centered on Christ, who saved us from death and sin and who promises us even more if we are willing to follow his instructions to get there.
Today, let's also walk in newness of life, letting go of any of the bad things that have plagued us and re-centering our lives on God, trusting in his promises and carrying that hope forward in our lives, thoughts, and example.
