This isn't just forgiveness—it's transformation. You emerge from the water with a new identity, new purpose, and new power. But here's the question: Do you know what you're committing to? Who is your new allegiance? What does your new life look like? Many people get baptized without understanding they're enlisting in God's Kingdom purposes. You're not just saved from something; you're saved for something. Your life now belongs to advancing Christ's Kingdom. Today, reflect on your calling. How has Jesus asked you to live differently? What new habits, relationships, or priorities should characterize your new life? Newness isn't passive—it's actively walking in the resurrection power of Christ daily." lang: en --- 721 N.

Reading: **Romans 6:4-14** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Just as Christ was raised from the dead, baptism declares you are walking in newness of life.

Newness isn't passive—it's actively walking in the resurrection power of Christ daily.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Jesus, thank You for raising me to new life. Help me to fully embrace my new identity and walk daily in Your resurrection power. Align my life with Your purpose, and lead me into the calling You’ve placed on me.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Faith Steps:** 1. **Define your new identity:** Write 3–5 truths about who you are now in Christ. 2. **Start one new habit:** Begin a daily practice that reflects your new life (prayer, Scripture, or serving others).
