Day 217 - Psalm 75-77 & Romans 6
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:8-11 ESV)
“Wanted Dead or Alive,” read the old West poster. A reward would be given if a criminal was brought in “dead or alive.”
The Lord wants us both dead and alive. He wants us to be dead to sin and alive to God. He is calling us to repent of our sins and trust in Christ for life today and in eternity.
Almighty God, hear my prayer for forgiveness and my plea for strength to die to self and live for You. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
