Let Us Walk in Newness of Life
(Romans 6:3-4)

​Introduction:

         1. In Romans 6:3-4 the Bible explains how we experience a likeness of the Lord's resurrection when
             we are saved from our sins.
         2. In our lesson we are concentrating on the point made in vs.4b -- when we are raised from baptism,
             we are to "walk in newness of life."
         3. In Titus 2 we are given some general guidelines and some specific guidelines that will help us to walk
             this way.

Discussion:

I.           SOME  GENERAL  GUIDELINES  THAT  RELATE  TO  WALKING  IN  NEWNESS  OF  LIFE
             (Titus 2:11-14)


         A. To know how to walk in newness of life, we must go to the right source.
         B. We learn from vs.11-12 that God's grace teaches us how to live.
             1. A misunderstanding about God's grace is cleared up in Romans 6:1-2, 14-15.
             2. God's grace teaches us:
                 a. to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts
                 b. to live soberly, righteously, and godly.
         C. According to vs.13-14, we are to be looking for the Lord's return.
             1. We are reminded of the Lord's suffering in vs.14a -- He "gave Himself for us."
             2. We are reminded in vs.14b of the blessings that Jesus provides because of His suffering [in other
                 words, we are able to walk in newness of life].

II.          SOME  SPECIFIC  GUIDELINES  THAT  RELATE  TO  WALKING  IN  NEWNESS  OF  LIFE
             (Titus 2:1-6)


         A. (vs.2) The aged men are to be:
             1. sober: free from excess
             2. grave: honorable, worthy of respect, dignified
             3. temperate: self-controlled
             4. sound (incorrupt) in "faith," "love," and "patience."
         B. (vs.3) The aged women are:
             1. to be in behavior as becometh holiness: reverent
             2. not to be false accusers: slanderers
             3. not to be given to much wine: free of addiction
             4. to be teachers of good things: teachers of what is right.
         C. (vs.4-5) The aged women are to teach the young women:
             1. to be sober: self-controlled
             2. to love their husbands: to be suitable helpers and companions
             3. to love their children: to care for children and be a companion to them
             4. to be discreet: temperate, controlling the desires and impulses
             5. to be chaste: pure, modest
             6. to be keepers at home: taking care of household affairs
             7. to be good: upright, virtuous
             8. to be obedient to their own husbands: in subjection
             9. to follow these guidelines so God's Word will not be blasphemed.
         D. (vs.6) Young men are to be sober-minded: having the passions and impulses under control.

Conclusion:

         1. Walking in newness of life is a privilege and responsibility for those who have been baptized into the
             Lord's death and raised with Him.
         2. Thankfully, we have these guidelines [and many others] to show us how to walk in newness of life.
         3. An appropriate request for us to make is found in Psalm 143:8.
