That old man

"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin" (Romans 6:6 KJV). Know that we as believers, born-again children of God, are no longer slaves to the law of sin, but alive in Christ Jesus. The cross of Christ breaks the power of darkness and sin. It is at the cross, where the blood of Jesus was poured out, that liberty is continually brought to all mankind. He brought freedom from sin and darkness, everything thing that kept man bound. The chains broke. The doors were opened for the captives to walk free. The cross was the place where Christ took authority over every bit of darkness. It is the place where everyone comes by faith and are baptized unto His death. When Christ died 2,000 years ago, we, as the believers, died with Him. "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord" (vs.11). When He rose out of that tomb, we also rose in a newness of life, resurrected, as a child of God. Our sins and the old life, the past that we carried upon our shoulders, are buried in the tomb and gone forever. Believe and allow God to take dominion over your born-again life. God bless you. Amen
