How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?<BR/><BR/> 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?<BR/><BR/> 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.<BR/><BR/> 5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:<BR/><BR/> 6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.<BR/><BR/> 7For he that is dead is freed from sin.<BR/><BR/> 8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:<BR/><BR/> 9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.<BR/><BR/> 10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.<BR/><BR/> 11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.<BR/><BR/> 12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.<BR/><BR/> 13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.<BR/><BR/> 14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. <BR/><BR/>Search the scriptures and seek God with a pure heart :-)Aaron Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419361597590912371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37259568.post-42080443540003723022007-09-28T12:39:00.000-07:002007-09-28T12:39:00.000-07:001 Timothy 1:12-1712 I thank him who has given me s...1 Timothy 1:12-17<BR/>12 I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. 16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264712926487905798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37259568.post-74239797853419663392007-09-28T12:34:00.000-07:002007-09-28T12:34:00.000-07:00Romans 5:6-116 For while we were still weak, at th...Romans 5:6-11<BR/>6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264712926487905798noreply@blogger.com
