Applications
God moves secret disciples to speak out!
Our worship should be extravagant!
We need to pursue our sanctification—our walking in newness of life!
Romans 6:3-5
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into his death?
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death,
in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,
we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his,
we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
