We talk about grace a lot around Calvary. We are depending on grace! And Paul said that where sin increases, grace increases (Romans 5:20).

The extended logic of a statement like that causes us to ask, "Shall we keep on sinning so that God can keep on forgiving?" (Romans 6:1). Sounds good! But Paul reminds us that we died to sin when we became followers of Jesus. Then he refers to baptism as a reminder that after that death to sin we live a new life.

This weekend we celebrate that truth. We will celebrate the new life which has come to people who have put their faith in Jesus.
