“So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.” (Rom. 6:11 NLT)

Dead to sin but alive to righteousness

“…and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)

You died with Him and will live with Him

“It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him…” (2 Tim. 2:11)

“Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Gal. 5:24)

We no longer live but Christ lives in us

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” (Gal. 2:20)

Your life is hidden with Christ

“For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3)

Therefore…

“Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.” (Rom. 7:4)
