Scripture reveals that through Christ's death and resurrection, you have been fundamentally severed from sin's dominion — you are dead to it and alive to God.
Scripture on Romans 6 114
Romans 6:1-2
New Testament
"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?"
Romans 6:6-7
New Testament
"For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin — because anyone who has died has been set free from sin."
Romans 6:9-11
New Testament
"For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus."
Romans 6:12-14
New Testament
"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."
Colossians 3:3
New Testament
"For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."
The Bottom Line
You are no longer sin's slave; you belong to God, and your freedom is found in offering every part of yourself back to Him.
Try Today
Identify one area where sin still feels like your master. Name it specifically. Then declare aloud: 'I am dead to this. I belong to God.' Ask Him for one concrete way to offer that part of yourself to righteousness instead.
Prayer
Jesus invited us to come to Him when we're weary, and He gives us rest — even from the weight of sin's pull (Matthew 11:28).
Father, help me believe what Paul is saying — that I have actually died to sin and been raised to new life with Christ. I still feel sin's pull; some days it feels stronger than my freedom. But I'm asking You to make this truth real in my body, my choices, my desires. Show me one way today to offer myself to You instead of to sin. I want to stop negotiating with temptation and start living like someone who has already been set free. In Jesus' name, Amen.
