Romans 6:1-11
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We can proclaim liberty and salvation in the death of our Brother and King, Jesus Christ. He has killed sin in the time God appointed and will appoint our lives in a timely manner, if we'll wait on Him. We now have a life to live and must set ourselves free from satan's grip. God ordained a life for us, and we can now live it through the life, death, and new life, of Jesus Christ. He runs the world now and all authority has been given to Him, to give to us. (John 16:15) " All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. God is about holiness, righteousness, justice, and love for all. satan, is for lies, theft, confusion, destruction, and death. We are perishing daily, faster and faster by not locking into the truth of God's word. He is the vine and we are His branches, and without Him we can do nothing. He says, He will cast us off into this evil wilderness we live in, and let satan have at us, if we will not humble to Him. Verse 4 says, "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." We are to be walking in new life, not continuing the same acts as most of our ancestors were doing in the bible. Our streets should be filled with joy, that our dreams, hopes, and visions, are coming true through God and His word. We can kill our flesh daily by studying God's word. We can believe by faith that He is creating a new work from within us. A work that is going to prosper and confuse the enemy. God wants paradise in our hearts, and for us to come together as brothers and sisters and build it on earth. He's here as a Father to help us dream and build our lives that will evoke peace. However, it must first come from within us, to be manifested outside us. God says, roll our works upon Him, and He will cause His will to become our dream and we shall succeed. Death no longer has dominion over us unless we let it. We are the captains of our salvation. Become pure and sin no more.
(Psalms 51:7) "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."
Blessings to all who kill sin in the flesh and become pure,
