"Knowing this, that our old man [our old sinful self]
is crucified with him [Jesus], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve sin." - Romans 6:6 KJV
We kill sin in our life by repentance, getting water
baptized in Jesus name to bury our sins, and receiving the gift of God’s
Spirit, the Holy Ghost, to live a NEW life. When we repent and are baptized in
the name JESUS, we make a COVENANT with Him that we HENCEFORTH will not serve
sin.
"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 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. For if we
have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in
the likeness of his resurrection:" - Romans 6:3-5 KJV
His gift to us is His Spirit, His power to live above sin.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." -
Acts 2:39 KJV
Because we have killed sin in our life, and walk in the
power of the Holy Ghost, we become a witness for Jesus. Our life is changed. We
have a new commitment and a new relationship with God.
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." -
Acts 1:8 KJV
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me." - Philippians 4:13 KJV
