Romans 6:5 “Since we have been united with HIM in HIS death, we will also be raised to life as HE was.” (And ever lives!”)
IN and WITH!
Can we sacrifice Self on the cross which we carry?
Is our blood sufficient a payment for sin?
In no way on our own yet through us HIS blood flows…
THE Perfect Provision WHO binds us to HIM!
What then? Should we pause? Should we cease from proceeding?
Should we pick up our burdens and lay down GOD’s grace?
In no way! So press on…with Love’s beams on our shoulders
WHOSE burden is light and lights our paths ahead!
As HIServant rejoicing that my burdens have been lifted, all debts have been paid and I stand because HE stands IN and WITH me,

Devotional: Colossians 2:12 “And having been buried with HIM in baptism,
…you were raised with HIM through your faith in the power of GOD,
…WHO raised HIM from the dead.”
Glory!
We were crucified WITH HIM as HE chose to be wholly substituted IN our place upon Calvary.
So HE is our Perfect Provision and Priceless Substitution WHOSE identity is also ours forever.
CHRISTian! HIS Child!
So all glory to GOD in the Highest!
Romans 6:4 “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!”
Amen and amen.
