“For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:10-11 KJV
The amazing revelation to the apostle Paul that by His sacrifice Christ died to sin’s power once and for all, but He now lives continuously for the Father’s pleasure. So let it be the same way with you! Since you are now joined with Him, you must continually view yourselves as dead and unresponsive to sin’s appeal while living daily for God’s pleasure in union with Jesus, the Anointed One. His appointment with death was once-off. As far as sin is concerned Christ is dead. The reason for His death was to take away the sin of the world; His life now exhibits our union with the life of God. This is equally relevant for us. He died our death which means we died to sin, and are now alive to God. Sin-consciousness can never again feature in our future! We are in Christ Jesus - His Lordship is the authority of this union. Hallelujah!
