Romans 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
We have the scriptures which tell us of what Christ went through for our sakes; He died and was buried, but now lives!
Through that same truth we should count ourselves dead to sin because Christ took on that debt on our behalf.
And because Christ is alive again after being raised from the dead, we should look forward to being alive by avoiding that sin which lead to our death.
Live for and with Christ because He has allowed you to do so!
