Romans 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
I am so thankful to God that He saved me and made me dead to sin. It is so awesome that I do not have to change who I or become someone. I do what is right and live as Christ because that is who I have been made in Christ Jesus. I am so thankful that God has made me dead to sin but Alive to Christ.
This truth makes choosing righteousness over sin a whole lot easier. If I will but choose to look at myself in the same way as Christ does I will not want to defile my body with all those things that I used to. I will realize that what I yield my members to rather sin or righteousness I become its servant.
Romans 6:16 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
I want to live my life as a servant to the Lord Jesus Christ so I will do what is right.
I will do what is right because that is who God has made me to be. I do right because I am dead to sin and Alive to Christ.
