Alive to God

Romans 6

Sin does not reign in my mortal body. I have died to sin, therefore how can I who have died to sin live in it any longer? I am baptized into Christ; I have been baptized into his death.

I’ve been buried, therefore, with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father, I too can walk in newness of life. Thank you, father, that today I walk in the newness of life.

Since I’ve been united with Jesus, the Christ, in a death like his, I shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. My old self was crucified with him, so that I am no longer enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin.

Now I believe that, since I have died with Christ, I will also live with him. So, I reckon myself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
