Romans 6:4 (NLT) — 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. 

And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, 

now we also may live new lives.

Luke 5:37–38 (NRSV) — 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; 

otherwise the new wine will burst the skins 

and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 

38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

Galatians 3:27 (NRSV) — 27 As many of you as were baptized into Christ 

have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Colossians 3:10 (NRSV) — 10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self, 

which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.

Walking in newness of life - in your new self -

is walking IN Christ!

Clothed IN Him!

Being ALL He has called you to be!

Doing what He has equipped you to do!

This IS newness of life!

Enjoy and rejoice!

Amen.
