In the context of <a href="/romans/6.htm">Romans 6</a>, Paul discusses the believer's union with Christ in His death and resurrection. The term "count" or "reckon" is an accounting term, suggesting a deliberate and conscious decision to consider oneself as having died to the power and penalty of sin. This is not a physical death but a spiritual reality that believers are to embrace. The concept of being "dead to sin" is rooted in the idea that through Christ's crucifixion, the dominion of sin over the believer's life has been broken. This aligns with <a href="/galatians/2-20.htm">Galatians 2:20</a>, where Paul states, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."but alive to God This part of the verse highlights the transformation that occurs through salvation. Being "alive to God" signifies a new life that is oriented towards God and His purposes. This new life is characterized by righteousness and holiness, contrasting with the previous life dominated by sin. The imagery of life and death is prevalent throughout the New Testament, symbolizing the transition from the old self to the new creation in Christ (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>). This new life is empowered by the Holy Spirit, enabling believers to live in a way that pleases God.in Christ Jesus The phrase "in Christ Jesus" is central to Paul's theology, indicating the believer's union with Christ. This union is the basis for the believer's new identity and status before God. Being "in Christ" means that believers share in all that Christ has accomplished, including His victory over sin and death. This concept is foundational to understanding the believer's position and privileges, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/1-3.htm">Ephesians 1:3-14</a>, where Paul outlines the spiritual blessings in Christ. The phrase also underscores the exclusivity of salvation and new life through Jesus, affirming that it is only through Him that one can be reconciled to God and experience true life.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a> The author of the Book of Romans, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_roman_church.htm">The Roman Church</a> The recipients of the letter, the Roman Christians were a diverse group of Jewish and Gentile believers living in the heart of the Roman Empire. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> Central to the message of Romans, Jesus is the Son of God whose death and resurrection provide the foundation for Christian faith and life. 4. <a href="/topical/s/sin.htm">Sin</a> A fundamental concept in Christian theology, sin represents the moral failing and separation from God that humanity experiences. 5. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The Creator and Sustainer of all, God is the ultimate authority and the one to whom believers are reconciled through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_our_identity_in_christ.htm">Understanding Our Identity in Christ</a> Recognize that being "dead to sin" means that sin no longer has dominion over us.
