THE LIVING DEAD
TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)

TOPIC: THE LIVING DEAD
SCRIPTURE: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord - Romans 6:11
MEMORY VERSE: Romans 6:7
DIGGING DEEP: It has been shown that we can live sin free life because Jesus our perfect example, Bible said that He knew no sin. Apart from Christ, all people are spiritually dead. The anchor Scripture said we should "be dead to sin" this is different from been dead in sin. To be dead in sin is to be in a state in which the soul is dead, conscience is gone, the spirit of the air is in total rulership and the power of sin is in absolute control (Ephesians 6:1-2); but to be dead to sin is the state that we can not be influenced by the attractions of sin. At this state sin is not appealing nor attractive unto you anymore. As he who is dead in the natural sense, has nothing more to do with earthly things, so he who is dead to sin has nothing to do any more with sin's attractions or with sinning itself.
That "I can sin and I will repent later" mindset shows that you are still alive to sin.
Three implications from our text are:
1) The obstacle to living the God kind of life is been alive to sin.
2) The secret of getting access to God is His life through Jesus Christ
3) Reckon (esteem and value) the work of Christ in dealing with the sin issue in the human race.
God wants us to be lifeless to sin and all of it's attractions, we must totally loose the ability to respond to the urge, stimulus or temptation to sin. So that we become an absolute walking dead to sin but awakened to God in righteousness. Which means to be altogether active and on the alert to do his will; to make our whole lives a perpetual offering to Him, serving Him and become an holy sacrifice that is acceptable unto God.
I decree that you receive the grace to be totally dead unto sin in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, i receive grace to live above sin always in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: Sin is a stain only the blood of Jesus can clean. Sin is a gene only the life of God can change - Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Revelation 8, 1 Samuel 17-18
