Dead & Alive Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on May 21, 2002

Consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus, and in response exercise your will to put to death that which belongs to the old life, presenting your bodies to God as instruments of righteousness.

Should we punish ourselves when we succumb to temptation? Does the righteousness we now have because we believe in Jesus ...read more
