“O Wretched Man That I Am” — NOT! (Part 6: Remind the Devil That We are Dead)

If we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. [6] We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. [7] For one who has died has been set free from sin. — Romans 6:5-7 (ESV)

The preceding verses told us how baptism represents death and then being resurrected to new life. Paul extends his thoughts here on the topics of our death, resurrection, and victory over sin. He tells us that if we identify ourselves with Jesus by committing our lives to follow Him and through baptism, we identify ourselves with His death on the cross for us. Just as Jesus didn’t stay dead, we also are resurrected into a new life that is better than the previous life. Jesus’ resurrected life is one that restored His original glory, and restored His position at the right hand of the Father. This uniting with him in a resurrection life is an ongoing activity, taking place in our lifetimes on earth and yet not fully complete until we are united with Jesus in heaven. That means that even now we should be experiencing a more heavenly life, which includes a greater heavenly perspective, a greater power coming from the Throne Room of God, and a greater glory being revealed in and through us.

“O Wretched Man That I Am” — NOT! (Part 5: Lessons from Baptism)

How can we who died to sin still live in it? [3] Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. — Romans 6:2-4 (ESV)

We who follow Jesus should be living free from sin! That’s what the Apostle Paul means when he begins with such a direct question. He is astonished that there are those who don’t seem to be progressing toward holy living. While it is true that faith in Jesus results in receiving the promise of eternal life, faith in Jesus is supposed to help us truly live the rest of the days on this earth. True living involves being like Jesus to this world.

“O Wretched Man That I Am” — NOT! (Part 4: Sin Prevails as Long as There is Law)

Sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. — Romans 6:14 (ESV)

For some reason, most Christians believe that we have to obey the Law. But here Paul writes plainly that we “are not under the law”. That means we are free from living our lives trying to follow it. This verse says if you live your life trying to follow the Law, sin wins. That is, you will remain a captive of sin. But as a follower of Jesus, you are called to live under grace. This is the only way to appropriate a new King in your life.
