Read Romans 6.5-14. In verses 5-11: Dying and living with Christ. In verse 5-8: With him: Believers "enter" Christ's experience as co-participants (Gal.19-20). In verse 10: He died to sin; In dying, Christ yielded to sin's power to kill. Christ's death occurred once; his new life with God is ongoing: He lives to God. In verse 11: Sin and God represent opposing realities and loyalties. In verses 12-14: Shifting loyalties. Sin may be an impersonal force, but it seriously competes with God for dominion over mortal bodies. In verse 13: Those ... brought from death to life have relived Christ's experience (v. 8). In verse 14: Christ's death also represents a shift from law to grace. (Jn 1.17). Comments or Questions..
