Romans 6:1-2 says, What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin(NATURE), that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin(NATURE), live any longer therein? Now in the previous chapter Paul talked about how we were made RIGHTEOUS(NATURE), through the obedience of one man(JESUS)! We are a NEW CREATION, when we receive HIM!! Paul also talked about the fact that we were made sinners (NATURE) by the disobedience of one man(ADAM). Adam got us in this mess, JESUS got us out of the mess. This is saying, that we are DEAD to that old sinful nature. So how could we live out of something that is dead. WE CANT!!! We dont have an old sinful nature anymore. DONT YOU KNOW?? What is keeping us locked into being defeated? An unrenewed mind(SOUL)! That is what this whole chapter is about. REALLY THE WHOLE NEW TESTAMENT!! KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AT THE CROSS!!! Not just information , but revelation. Romans 6:3 says, Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Why are we still overwhelmed by something that we dont even have? We just dont KNOW who we are, and what we have!! That is changing!! Listen to this. 2Corinthians 5:21 says, For he hath made him to be sin(NATURE) for us, who knew no sin(NATURE); that we might be made the righteousness(NATURE) of God in him. JESUS had no sin nature, however HE took our sin nature and put it to DEATH!! Now we are a NEW CREATION. 2Corinthians 5:17 says, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature(NATURE): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW. WOW!!! We are as RIGHTEOUS as CHRIST. HE MADE US THAT WAY THROUGH HIS DEATH. HE LITERALLY BECAME US, SO WE COULD BECOME ONE WITH HIM!! The death of JESUS was not just the death of one man, it was the death of ALL MEN!! How could we continue to let something dominate us as believers, unless we just didnt KNOW what really happened at the cross! Even as HE is, SO am i in this present world!! Have a great day!
