The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Faith Journey (3)" Bible Reading: Romans 6:3-11 for Friday, 9 September 2016
Romans 6:3 Don’t you know that those of us who have been immersed into the Messiah Yeshua have been immersed into his death? 4 Through immersion into his death we were buried with him; so that just as, through the glory of the Father, the Messiah was raised from the dead, likewise we too might live a new life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was put to death on the execution-stake with him, so that the entire body of our sinful propensities might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For someone who has died has been cleared from sin. 8 Now since we died with the Messiah, we trust that we will also live with him. 9 We know that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, never to die again; death has no authority over him. 10 For his death was a unique event that need not be repeated; but his life, he keeps on living for God. 11 In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive for God, by your union with the Messiah Yeshua.

When I was older, I stopped going to church. When I met my husband, he was not a Christian. So it was easy for me to not go to church. But I was not happy with my life! 
A doctor told us that we could not have children. So when our son, Matthew, was born, I knew he was a special gift from God. My husband and I started attending different churches. One church taught things that were not in the Bible, and at another church, no one spoke to us. We became discouraged and wondered if there was a church that followed the Bible. 
Finally, we found a Bible-believing church. The minister helped us understand that we needed to make Jesus our Lord and Savior. My husband and I were baptized. That was the happiest day of our lives! That was forty years ago, and we are still praising God for leading us to a church that followed His Word. 
Our Bible verses today tell us how we can be joined with Jesus. I hope that you are living a new life and serving Him![DF]
"If we died with Christ, we know 
that we will also live with him."[Romans 6:8]
PRAYER: Thank You, Father, for giving us new life through Jesus. In His name. Amen.
