JESUS CHRIST:      The Foundation of My Faith      FREED FROM SIN!        When Jesus Christ died, the body of sin, [our old man nature], died with him.      [ Romans 6:3-8] that we would henceforth live for God in newness of life, as      servants of righteousness.      We are freed from sin, both rendered and regarded as justified and innocent, and also,      liberated from and no longer in bondage to sin!        Romans 6:6, 7           6 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.           7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.        The word "freed" here means rendered, showed or regarded as justified or innocent.      Dead people are not guilty or innocent. They are dead. How can anyone judge a dead       person anything but dead? By the fruit we know people. There is no fruit in death.      Dead people cannot sin because the body of sin is destroyed and it is useless. They      can no longer serve sin. Therefore they are rendered free from sin; they are      innocent from sin from then on.        Romans 6:4, 10, 11, 18           4 Therefore 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.        I know someone who died when he was a teenager. The mortician was about to tag his toe,       when he sat up on the table, ALIVE! When he found out that he was dead and was made alive      again, he woke up to God. He began to hunger to know God and hungered to serve Him. He      sought answers and sought to know the Bible. Today, he is still on his quest to live for      God and grow more mature in Christ every year!      Like a person who has been given a second chance, like someone who was dead and got      brought back to life, let us walk with a newness of life! Let's live in fresh new      Hope, and in a fresh new manner, which brings glory to the Father! Living for God,      serving God and glorifying God through Jesus Christ, in newness of life, and in the      liberty we have received, (no longer being entangled again in the yoke of bondage),     let us live as servants of righteousness!             10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he           liveth, he liveth unto God.           11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto           sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.           18 Being then made free [liberated, delivered out of the bondage]           from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.         When we begin to obey from the heart, the apostles' doctrine, which we have been given,       [Romans 6:17] we will no longer be under servitude, the slavery of, nor under the bondage       of sin. We will become the servants of righteousness because we will be yielding to God's way       instead, in the newness of life that is in Christ! AMEN.        -Carol Kenreigh
