This is what it means to be dead to Sin

In Romans 6 : 2 it says - God forbid how shall we , that are dead to sin , live any longer in it . what this scripture means is sin is not dead to you, therefore you have to be dead to it . example if you walked into the grave yard and did something or said something out there . you would not get a response from anyone in the graves because they are dead . So in the very same way a born again believer is also dead to sin . in other words the born again believer is dead to the condemnation , guilt , judgment exec of sin . Jesus took care of all of this for the believer though his death as an offering for sin . so if you sinned to day Jesus is not going to come down from heaven and die on the cross again for you . ( why ) because his dying for sins once was more then enough . You must remember that the word sin is a noun , Paul never uses it as a verb in the book of Romans . therefore you may think that to die means you never do wrong again or say something wrong again exec , but it dose not because we all have said or did something wrong even today you could have did or said something wrong . -- Because Adam made everyone a sinner though what he did in the garden of Eden . That's why sin is a noun a person ( Adam ) made everyone a sinner . But Jesus broke sin's power over everyone that has made him their Lord . So unless you allow yourself to die to sin , you will not get power over it . God Bless Robert J.
