Christ's Work On The Cross

At rebirth, Christ's work on the Cross permanently severed the power that flowed from the old sin nature into the life of the new believer. The electricity (which represents the old-sin nature), is still there, and the lamp (which represents the believer), is still there, but the connection between the old sin nature and the believer has been severed - forever.
The power working in a believer either comes from the old sin nature or the new life in Christ. But when Christ died, He not only died FOR sin, paying the price of sin, but He died UNTO sin, providing victory over the dominating sin nature and permanently severing us from the power it has over us. When Christ died unto sin, we died with Him. We died unto sin.
By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Our United Prayer:
Thank you, Father, that Christ not only died for our sins so that our sins are forgiven, but He died unto sin so that the old sin nature does not have power over us, as we trust our lives into His hands. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
