Romans 6 reflections
” 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with,Or be rendered powerless that we should no longer be slaves to sin-7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin. (NIV)”
Why is it necessary for us to understand that in our accepting of Christ as Lord and Savior we have participated with Him in His death?
Romans 6:6-7 makes it clear that only the living remain slaves to sin and because we have died with Christ and have been raised with Him then sin is no longer in control. We died. We are a new creation. We’re free.

If it is so vital, then all diligence is required
I’ve noticed something that we do in the church. We throw out an opinion about how important, how vital, how necessary something is, and it garners the agreement of many and then we do a mediocre job of making sure it happens.
Why is that?
