NewCreature in Christ pt 2

Romans 6:6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

When Jesus died on the cross and when we believe in Him.... we enter a state of being died to sin... that the power of sin was nailed to the cross... our old man being nailed... in other words... to overcome power of sin we don't have to depend on own strength... but we can believe the truth that we have enter a state of being dead to sin.... the temptations do not have the same power over a believer as it is broken on the cross... we can depend on God's grace to live holy life... not own strength.. Hallelujah...

Romans 6:17
But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

Sin used to have power over you... but becos of God's grace and what Jesus did on the cross... sin has no more power over you......

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
