Subject: What does dead to sin in Roman 6:2 mean |
Bible Note: 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. |
