NOTE

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST II GAL 5:22-24

Paul’s idea of a new life is that some virtues ought to distinguish someone who says he is  living such a life.  He also lays emphasis on the sacrament of baptism, a rite during which the convert declares publicly his union with Christ. Essentially, this is the implication of baptism to one who now lives a new life in Christ.  By immersion one is buried with Christ, and by bringing one up from under water, he resurrects with Christ.  This is what baptism by immersion symbolizes.

The new life in Jesus Christ is a life of joy, a life in Jesus Christ. A life of faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God.  For the new converts, he should not allow sin to reign in his body neither should he yield to the desires of the flesh which are evil.  The new life begins with the mind.   It must also involve the creative power of God.

 

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEW LIFE

According to Paul in Colossians 3:1-17, the characteristics of the new life include;

  1. One’s mind should be set on things above.
  2. People should depart from all sinful practices.
  3. Having acquired a new life, he must rid himself of such vices as anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language, as well as lying.
  4. The new life requires compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, forgiveness and most importantly love.
  5. The peace of Christ should be allowed to rule in his heart
  6. They should be thankful always, teaching others and admonishing them with all wisdom, singing hymns, psalm and spiritual songs with gratitude in his heart to God.
  7. They should do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the father through Him.

For a person to be administered into new life he has to take the following steps:

  1. Hear the word of God.
  2. Confess his or her sins.
  3. Repent and be baptized.
  4. Determine to live a Christ- like life and be a full member of Christ’s body.
