Memory Verse : Gal 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me”.
Aims : to study the concept of new life in Christ and
to discuss the old livelihood in relation to the new life in Christ.
Introduction
We thank God for another Easter morning, a day to celebrate the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ over death. In our Bible passage today, Paul exposed the fact that Christ died as an innocent person for the sins He never committed, just for our righteousness and salvation (IICor 5: 15,v21). He admonished us that the best way to acknowledge this maximum sacrifice of Christ is to continuously live like Him and in Him (IICor 5: 15-17).
Study Guide
How can you describe new life in Christ with reference to IICor 5: 17 and Gal 2: 20; Col 3: 5, v9.
Mention some of the old things that are abominable to Christians on their way to the kingdom of God. Gal 5: 19-21; 1Pet 2: 1
What do we mean by “being crucified with Christ?” Rom 6: 6; 1Pet 4: 1-2.
According to Act 9: 17-22; v26-27; Gal 1: 13-16, how can you describe Paul as a good example of one who lived a new life in Christ Jesus and how can his conversion be a challenge to us as Christians?
Conclusion
As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ today, let us continuously put to death every works of the flesh and daily put on the new man in Christ so as to reign with Him eternally.
Food for Thought
Christianity without new livelihood ends in dead again
