CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST

I am dead to sin. I have been baptized into the death of Jesus Christ. I am buried with Him by the baptism into His death. As Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, I also, I now walk in newness of life. I have been planted together with Him in the likeness of His death and I declare that I am also in the likeness of His resurrection. My old man is crucified with Him and the body of sin was destroyed. Henceforth, I do not serve sin; I take no instruction from sin. My body is dead and I am free from sin. I am dead with Christ, and I also, am alive with Christ. I know that Christ is raised from the dead and He does not die anymore. Death has no dominion over Him. Christ died unto sin once and now He lives unto God. I reckon myself to be dead indeed unto sin and I am alive unto God through Jesus Christ my Lord. Therefore I do not let sin reign in my body. I do not obey my body in its lusts. I am alive from the dead. I offer my body as an instrument of righteousness alone. I dare say that sin has no dominion over me, because I am no longer under the law, but I am standing in His grace. I am a servant of God and I yield myself to God in obedience unto righteousness. I am free from sin and I am a servant of righteousness. I therefore present my body unto God as a servant to righteousness and unto holiness. I am free from sin and I am a servant of God. My fruit is holiness and everlasting life. I have the gift of God which is eternal life through Jesus Christ my Lord.
