A Good Death

In this look at Romans 6, we delve into the profound concept of being 'dead to sin.' This isn't just a metaphor - it's a spiritual reality that transforms how we view our relationship with sin and our identity in Christ. The passage challenges us to consider: How can those who have died to sin continue living in it? Through the imagery of baptism, we see a beautiful depiction of our unity with Christ in His death and resurrection. Just as we are lowered into the water, symbolizing burial, we are raised up to walk in newness of life. This isn't just a ritual; it's a powerful reminder of the fundamental change in our spiritual status. We're called to 'consider ourselves dead to sin,' a daily choice that aligns our thinking with the truth of what Christ has accomplished. This message invites us to live in the freedom Christ has secured, no longer enslaved to sin but alive to God.
