Romans 6:11, Alive Unto God

Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

To be living victoriously in holiness is to be alive unto God. By a command to spiritual vigilance and habitual holiness, the Apostle Paul described this as the delightful new life in Christ. This ought to be the Christian’s life lived in appreciation of the beauty of holiness. This is God’s will for you. You are to be dead indeed unto sin. Sin must not have a strangle hold upon your life, but you are overcoming sin as a personal holiness habit.

For example,

Put Off: Neglect of Bible Study

2 Timothy 3:14-17  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Put On: Devotions

Psalms 119:9-11  Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

May the Lord help us now and in the new year. Amen.
