Today’s reading takes us to Romans 6, where Paul makes something clear: the Christian life is not behavior modification—it is resurrection life. In Christ, the old self has died, the authority of sin has been broken, and we now live under a new Master. Paul’s call is not merely to “try harder,” but to recognize what has already happened: you died with Christ, you were raised with Christ, and sin no longer owns you.
Romans 6 reminds us that our identity has changed, so our lives should change with it. We are no longer meant to present our minds, eyes, hands, feet, or bodies as instruments of unrighteousness. We belong to the One who redeemed us. So today, read Romans 6 and ask the question Paul asks: what fruit did the old life ever produce? Then have the funeral. Stop identifying with the person Christ already put to death, and live like someone who has been raised to walk in newness of life.
