All of us were baptized into Christ Jesus. Don’t you know that we were baptized into his death?By being baptized, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has been raised from the dead by the Father’s glory. And like Christ we also can live a new life.By being baptized, we have been joined with him in a death like his. So we will certainly also be joined with him in a resurrection like his.

The water of the flood is a picture. It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

But God raised him from the dead. He set him free from the suffering of death. It wasn’t possible for death to keep its hold on Jesus.

And you will know God’s great power. It can’t be compared with anything else. His power works for us who believe. It is the same mighty strengthGod showed. He showed this when he raised Christ from the dead. God seated him at his right hand in his heavenly kingdom.

They were written also for us. We believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. So God will accept our faith and make us right with himself.

This is because all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. You have put him on as if he were your clothes.

You have been raised up with Christ. So think about things that are in heaven. That is where Christ is. He is sitting at God’s right hand.Think about things that are in heaven. Don’t think about things that are only on earth.

But God loves us deeply. He is full of mercy.So he gave us new life because of what Christ has done. He gave us life even when we were dead in sin. God’s grace has saved you.God raised us up with Christ. He has seated us with him in his heavenly kingdom. That’s because we belong to Christ Jesus.

There is one Lord, one faith and one baptism.

My dear brothers and sisters, don’t let anyone fool you.Every good and perfect gift is from God. This kind of gift comes down from the Father who created the heavenly lights. These lights create shadows that move. But the Father does not change like these shadows.

But Christ really has been raised from the dead. He is the first of all those who will rise from the dead.

We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. It didn’t matter whether we were Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free people. We were all given the same Spirit to drink.

We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him.We know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death doesn’t control him anymore.When he died, he died once and for all time. He did this to break the power of sin. Now that he lives, he lives in the power of God.In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far as sin is concerned. Now you believe in Christ Jesus. So consider yourselves to be alive as far as God is concerned.

God’s grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn’t come from anything you do. It is God’s gift.

Then Christ will live in your hearts because you believe in him. And I pray that your love will have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation.

Our Lord Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. The God who gives peace brought him back from the dead. He did it because of the blood of the eternal covenant. Now may Godsupply you with everything good. Then you can do what he wants. May he do in us what is pleasing to him. We can do it only with the help of Jesus Christ. Give him glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Here is what he has given you to do for Christ. You must not only believe in him. You must also suffer for him.

Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith. And he is the one who completes the journey of faith. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I now serve the good news because God gave me his grace. His power is at work in me.

My brothers and sisters, when Christ died you also died as far as the law is concerned. Then it became possible for you to belong to him. He was raised from the dead. Now our lives can be useful to God.

These basic teachings taught us about different ways of becoming“ clean.” They taught us about placing hands of blessing on people. They taught us that people will rise from the dead. They taught us that God will judge everyone. And they taught us that what he decides will last forever.

He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.God poured out the Spirit on us freely. That’s because of what Jesus Christ our Savior has done.

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

Some people did accept him and did believe in his name. He gave them the right to become children of God.To be a child of God has nothing to do with human parents. Children of God are not born because of human choice or because a husband wants them to be born. They are born because of what God does.

Jesus replied,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can see God’s kingdom unless they are born again.”“ How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked.“ They can’t go back inside their mother! They can’t be born a second time!”Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can enter God’s kingdom unless they are born with water and the Holy Spirit.People give birth to people. But the Spirit gives birth to spirit.You should not be surprised when I say,‘ You must all be born again.’

When they arrived at Antioch, they gathered the church together. They reported all that God had done through them. They told how he had opened a way for the Gentiles to believe.

The apostles said to the Lord,“ Give us more faith!”

Christ suffered in his body. So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.As a result, they don’t live the rest of their earthly life for evil human desires. Instead, they live to do what God wants.You have spent enough time in the past doing what ungodly people choose to do. You lived a wild life. You longed for evil things. You got drunk. You went to wild parties. You worshiped statues of gods, which the Lord hates.
