God's grace and obedience to Him (part 7)

Romans 6:7  For he that is dead is freed from sin. We have to die in order to be freed from sin. This is the reason for being buried.with Him in baptism and hence the operation of God. (Col 3:12-13)
Roamns 6:8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: And knowing that we died, we also know that we will be resurrected and are a new creature when we arise from the water. The operation of God works on our faith that when we participate in baptism we die with Him and more importantly we live with Him. And our walk begins.
Romans 6:9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Christ went to the cross for us to show us that death has no more hold over us when we die to ourselves and walk as He walked.

Romans 6:10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. He died once but lived forever in God.
