The first 3 words of the title are pretty morbid there. What I refer to is that if I believe that I have died with Christ for in my sin, I have to believe that I live in the eternal life through His resurrection.
“3Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We 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 6:3-4 (ESV)
There is a lot going on in those verses, but what I see in them is that when I accepted the salvation of Christ and was baptized, I died in the sin that was and would be part of my life, and was created anew in the life of Christ as He rose.
I continue to be a sinner, and for that I must repent daily. I am also alive in Christ and live thanks to Him and for Him. I believe that my life prior to salvation was wrought with sin and I was slowly dying to that sin, and now with the life of Christ in my heart, I live a glorious filled life.
“8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we also live with him.” – Romans 6:8 (ESV)
When you think of your life, are you still living in sin? Have you died with Christ? Do you believe you died and now believe you live?
