Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ's Righteousness
What to notice today
Paul declares that believers have died to sin through baptism into Christ's death and have been raised to new life, no longer enslaved to sin's power. In Job's speeches, Elihu argues that God's greatness and justice are beyond human comprehension, yet He listens to the cries of the afflicted. Together, these readings reveal that true freedom comes not from understanding all of God's ways, but from dying to our old nature and trusting in Christ's resurrection power.
