Alive to God | Romans 6:8-11
Paul spent the first several chapters in Romans laying out bedrock truths of Christianity. Now in Roman 6:11, he gives a strong imperative command: Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God. This is not a suggestion, but a “must.” Why is it so important? Because being alive to God is the entire purpose of our dying to sin. As one pastor put it, "The glory of Christian redemption is that it is in union with Jesus that we are given back our true selves. We finally begin becoming who we were truly created to be." Take-Home Message: In Christ, I must consider myself dead to sin and alive to God. In Christ, I will be eternally alive to God (8-9). Realities of the Resurrection: We will never die again. We will have transformed bodies. We will never grieve again. We will be renewed. We will live in renewed creation. We will be with our loved ones who died in Christ. We will be rewarded for every loss endured for Christ. We will never experience war again. We will witness true justice. In Christ, I must be presently alive to God (10-11).
