Dead To Sin, Alive To Christ
"Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:11
A woman woke up one morning and noticed that she felt like she had just gone to sleep. She said, "It can't be six o'clock in the morning!"
But the radio said it was six. The clock said it was six. The sunrise said it was six. Now, I submit to you: it really didn't matter how she felt, did it?
Sometimes we respond the same way when it comes to our salvation. We need to get our salvation out of the realm of fickle emotions and begin to "reckon" (count on) God's facts.
Each morning when you wake up, begin by saying, "I am dead to sin. I am alive in Christ. I know it's a fact. He died for me. Now I reckon it!"
Look up the word "reckon" in the dictionary. Are you reckoning yourself dead to sin and alive to Christ? If not, begin to do so today.
