Haiku responding to Romans 6: 1-11
What then shall we say?
Shall we continue to sin
so that grace may grow?
That would be stupid!
How can we who died to sin
keep living in it?
Don't you grasp the fact:
being baptised into Christ,
we share in his death?
We're buried with Christ
through baptism; just as he
was raised, we are too.
We share his new life.
Joined into his death, we'll join
in his risen life.
Our old selves are dead,
including our sinfulness;
we're set free from sin.
If we died with Christ
we will also live with him;
death has lost its hold!
Consider yourselves
dead to sin, and made alive
to God through Jesus.
