1 | What does dead to sin in Roman 6:2 mean | Rom 6:2 | EdB | 228654 | ||
Biblicalman Thank you for you answer I can really get a hold on this statement you made, "Physically nothing happens. It is all in the realm of the Spirit, and in how we view sin and life. But clearly as our being made spiritually one with Christ is a reality, His power is available for us to be able to carry it into genuine experience." I think you are correct nothing magically happens that makes us immune to sin, we still can but our love for Christ makes us resist. I think that is what you said. :-) Now what scripture do you think best shows this? Thank you for your help in this quest |

2 | What does dead to sin in Roman 6:2 mean | Rom 6:2 | biblicalman | 228661 | ||
The wonderful thing that does happen is that we become united with the risen Christ and therefore have His power available to us if our lives are fully yielded to Him. If we are Christians He and the Father come to live within us and we enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit. The way to a victorious life is yieldedness to Him. So we are not left alone to struggle on by ourselves. We have our risen Saviour dwelling in our hearts by faith (Ephesians 3.17). Possibly you could consider Galatians 2.20. 'I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by confident trust in the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself for me.' Here is the secret, letting Christ live through us after recognising that we have died to sin in Him. |
