Our Scripture reading today is Romans 6:6-7, 11.
Verse 11, "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord."
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are to consider ourselves dead to the wishes and ways of the old man. It is in our best interest to identify with Jesus Christ death. We do not need to crucify the old man since he is already dead. The other side of the equation is for us to identify with Jesus' resurrection. Praise the Lord for the new life He gives to all who receive Him as their personal Saviour! We are alive unto God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
