Raised to Walk in Newness of Life

Introduction: Resurrection is not just something that happened to Jesus—it is something that must happen to you. Too many believers celebrate an empty tomb but still live like they’re buried.

I. United With Christ in Death

● Romans 6:5

● Greek: sunphutos (σύμφυτος) = grown together, united at the root

Explanation: Salvation is not surface-level—it is a deep union. When Christ died, your old self died with Him.

Supporting Scripture:

● Galatians 2:20

● Colossians 2:12

Application: Stop identifying with a version of you that God has already crucified.

Quote: “The cross is not merely an event in history—it is the end of you.” — A.W. Tozer

II: Raised to Walk in New Life

● Romans 6:4

● Greek: kainotēs (καινότης) = newness in quality, not just time

Explanation: This is not a better life, it is a different life.

Supporting Scripture:

● 2 Corinthians 5:17

● Ezekiel 36:26

Application: If your life hasn’t changed, you may not have truly been raised.

III: Reckoning the Reality

● Romans 6:11

● Greek: logizomai = to account as fact

Explanation:

Victory begins when you believe what God says is already true.

Application:

Stop living by feelings—start living by faith.

Conclusion: You don’t need revival—you need resurrection reality. Walk out of the grave today.
