Hey New Song Church! Grab your Bible and turn to Romans 6.We’re in Looking Unto Jesus, a series chasing one thing: Real change for real sinners — not polish, not performance, but transformation that reaches desire and identity. Today we’re going straight to the source of that change: Union with Christ.

Big Idea: You’re not just forgiven by Christ — you are united to Christ. What’s true of Him now defines you. His death counts as your death. His resurrection fuels your life.

In this message you’ll learn:• Why the Bible’s most repeated identity is “in Christ” — and why that changes everything.• How Romans 5–6 moves you from in Adam (sin/death) to in Christ (righteousness/life).• The four approaches to growth — God then me / God not me / God plus me / God in me — and why only one actually transforms.• What “abiding” really means (John 15): grafted into Jesus so His life produces His fruit in you.• Why union makes you secure (Romans 8), blessed (Ephesians 1), and transformed (Galatians 2:20) — and why the greatest gift of the gospel is Christ Himself.

Key Texts: Romans 6:3–5; Romans 5:12,19; 1 Corinthians 15:22; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 15:4–5; Philippians 2:12–13; Colossians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 6:17; John 10:28–29; Colossians 3:3; Ephesians 1:3; Romans 8:1,38–39; Galatians 2:20

Sticky lines to take with you:• “We were all born in Adam — we must be reborn in Christ.”• “This isn’t God plus me — it’s God in me.”• “Union isn’t fragile; it’s Spirit-forged.”• “The reward of union isn’t just what Jesus gives — it’s Jesus.”

Next steps:• If you’re burned out on “God then me,” come home to God in me.• If you’ve been passive, abide — take the step He already called you to.• If shame’s been loud, hear the gentle Jesus: “I haven’t let go.”
