What we should do now vs what we shall be eventually.
---------------------------------------------------------
Romans 6:3 - 8 NKJV tells us that:
- we were immersed (baptised) into the death of the Anointed One v3
- we were buried with the Anointed v4
- we have been united in the likeness of the death of the Anointed v5
- we have died with the Anointed v8a
==> so, just as the Anointed was raised by the glory of the Father,
- - - - we SHOULD walk in newness of life v4
- - - - we SHOULD no longer be slaves of sin v6b
==> and
- - - - we SHALL be in likeness of his resurrection v5.
- - - - we SHALL also live with him v8.
Romans 6:11, 12
Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to
God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal
body, that you SHOULD obey it in its lusts.
Brothers and Sisters, if we recognise that, in union with our Master Yeshua
the Anointed, we are dead to sin but alive to YHWH our God, then we SHOULD
stop living in sin. And if we believe in our hearts that God has raised the
Anointed One from the dead, then let us put our hope in the resurrection, when
we SHALL also be raised like him.
