The Book of Romans, Part 44: Seeing Ourselves Differently (Rom. 6:3-11)
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 8, 2024)
When we paused the message yesterday, we were learning that our self image should be different after we are born again. In our Christian self image, we should no longer see sin in the same way; rather than acceptable, we should see it as reprehensible. Today, we look more particularly at how we likewise should not see ourselves as we were before. We are new creatures, quickened by Christ into a new life in Him! We have been “baptized” into His death; we have been “crucified” with Him; in fact, we are “dead” with Christ. The old “hollow log” theory of the new birth – that the new birth makes no more difference than a rabbit running through a hollow log – finds no support in Scripture! Join us today as we learn that we ought to see ourselves as new creatures in Christ, and reject the attitudes of the old man.
