Dead to sin, alive to God
Now the word of God plainly declares that even those who are justified, who are born again in the lowest sense, do not continue in sin; that they cannot live any longer in it (Romans 6:1-2); that they are planted together in the likeness of the death of Christ (Romans 6:5). That their old man is crucified with him, the body of sin being destroyed, so that from now on they do not serve sin; that being dead with Christ, they are freed from sin (Romans 6:6-7). That they are dead to sin and alive to God (Romans 6:11). That sin has no more dominion over them, who are not under the law but under grace; but that these, being free from sin, have become the servants of righteousness (Romans 6:14, 18).
