“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
Jesus’s appointment with death was once-off. As far as sin is concerned, He 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 reasoning is equally relevant to each of us. As we calculate the Cross, there can only be one logical conclusion that He died our death. That 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 our union. Jesus did not have to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. The single sacrifice of Himself in the fulfilment of history now reveals how He has brought sin to nought. From now on, we think in this way that sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to us. God speaks our mother tongue, and we hang on every Word - we are dead to sin and alive to God. That’s what Jesus did! Hallelujah to the Lamb!
