Dead to the Flesh

DAY 1 OF 10

A New Identity: Died and Risen with Christ

Paul asks, "How can we who died to sin still live in it?" The question assumes a decisive truth: as a believer in Christ, you have died. Your old, rebellious self was crucified with Jesus. The power of sin's dictatorship over your life has been broken. Baptism is the picture of this: burial (death to the old) and rising (new life). Today's instruction is simple but profound: Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus (v. 11). This isn't a feeling; it's a fact of faith. Start your day by declaring, "I am dead to the flesh, and alive to God."
