The “Old Man”

Buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
Colossians 2:12 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Bury The “Old Man!”
We were buried (positionally-spiritually) with Jesus through baptism according to scripture (that is, if you are born again). This is symbolic of the death of the “old man”, the carnal fleshy man who’s father was Satan because of the fall of Adam. This old man was born with a sin nature because of the fall in the garden, he is a sinner by nature – no matter how good you think he is or who your parents were! I didn’t say that the Bible did, Romans 3:23. This old man had to die before our new man could take his place (2 Cor. 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.) It is this new man that is spiritually (positionally) risen with Christ. It is our faith in Jesus Christ and what HAS (notice this is past tense) already done for us that makes all this possible. Nothing else can make us a new creature in Christ. NOTHING!

MY PRAYER…
Father, I just want to take this time to thank You once again for sending Your Holy Son Jesus to make a way for me to be reconciled unto You. I thank You that because of His blood on the Cross my sins have been not only been forgiven but forgotten, washed away as far as the east is from the west. Thank You Father, for washing me with the water of Your Word (Jesus) and for casting my sin as far as the east is from the west. Thank You for clothing me in Your robe of righteousness through the blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen
