Romans 6:6Romans 6:6

“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”

-When we obey the gospel, we change who we serve. Romans 6:16-18Romans 6:16-18

-We become new creatures. 2 2 Corinthians 5:17Corinthians 5:17

Let’s look at some ways the old man is crucified with him and the new man is put on.

1. A new way of thinking. (Mindset)

-Ex. Oil Light in the Car-Ephesians 4:17-24Ephesians 4:17-24-What are our priorities?-What dictates our Schedule?

Do you have the way of thinking (Mindset) of the new man or of the old?

2. A New Motivation in Life.-What drives you each day?-Matthew 6:21-24Matthew 6:21-24-Where is your Treasure?-What do you plan around?-How do you use your time?-James 4:14James 4:14--Notice how the Corinthians were changed. 1 Corinthians 6:9-111 Corinthians 6:9-11

2. A New Motivation in Life

-Where is your affection?-Colossians 3:1-3Colossians 3:1-3--Matthew 6:33Matthew 6:33

-Do you have the motivation of the New man or of the Old Man?

3. Jesus Lives in you

-Before he was not the center of your life-Now he is the compass to your life-Galatians 2:20Galatians 2:20 - “I have been crucified with - “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Conclusion-When we are buried in baptism with Christ we are to walk in a new way, act in a new way, think in a new way, and live act in a new way.

-Is this something that is seen in your life?

-Or perhaps you are the same old person living the same life you were before obeying the gospel. If so you are not walking faithfully or as God would have you to.
