Amen. Alright, take your Bible. Turn to Romans 6. Romans 6. We'll read verses 1-19. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin, underline that, dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? You can underline that too if you want to. Therefore, we are buried with Him by baptism into death, There it is again, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified, underline it again, with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Verse 7, for he that is dead, underline it, is freed from sin. Verse 8, now if we be dead with Christ, you get the picture, underline it again, we believe that we shall also live with Him. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once, but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ your Lord. Verse 12, let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lust thereof. Verse 13, neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid! Know ye not to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey? His servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. But God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of sound doctrine which was delivered unto you. Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness." I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh. As you have yielded your members, servants, to uncleanness, to iniquity, unto iniquity, even so now yield your members, servants, unto righteousness, unto holiness." Lord, we come before You and we are so thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You for dying for us. Thank You for shedding Your blood for us. Thank You for being resurrected, breaking death's power. Lord, I pray that I would yield myself tonight as an instrument of righteousness, Lord. And I pray, Father, that the things that are being taught here might be helpful, might give people victory tonight, Lord. I love You. And I pray, Father, that You would just meet with us, Lord. God, we don't want just another service. We don't want just another sermon. Sermons are dime a dozen, Lord. There's thousands and millions of them all over the internet. And Father, we could have just stayed home tonight and watched YouTube like some of the people that are watching YouTube right now. But Lord, we pray You'd bless them as well, Father. They can't make it, but Lord, we've come tonight to meet with you as you've commanded us and to gather together. Lord, Father, please be with us now. In Jesus' name, Amen. How a dead person should live. Dwight L. Moody was an evangelist, much like Billy Graham, and he lived in a different era. And he heard a man stand up in a testimony meeting one time, and he said, I've learned three things after 42 years. And he said, I should probably pay attention to this. If this took 42 years for this man to learn it, I need to know what they are. And he said this, number one, I can do nothing to earn salvation. Number two, God does not require me to do anything. Number three, Jesus has done it all. Now that's a good thing to learn, but it doesn't take 42 years to learn that. But one thing that illustrates it is we are saved by the grace of God. Salvation is a free gift. And it has its roots not in the merit of man, but in the mercy of God. It's not something that man does, but it's the grace of God. So, people say that if it's all the grace of God, then does it matter how we live? I mean, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? It's grace anyway, the Lord paid for it. Also, should we just keep doing what we're doing because Jesus paid for it, we're on our way to heaven, and we're safe? Well, look what Paul says in verse 1. God forbid, what shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? He says, God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? In other words, a Christian who is saved by grace and continues to live in sin is a disgrace to grace. We're saved by the grace of God, but after we're saved, we need to learn how to live in victory. Now, how do we do that? He says in verse 6, knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed. Verse 7, for he that is dead is freed from sin. Now as a Christian, you're supposed to be dead. Look at verses 3. Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death, like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of Father. Even so, we also should walk in newness of life. R.G. Lee was a preacher years ago, and for the first time he went to the Holy Land, and he went and toured the tomb where Jesus Christ was said to have buried. And the tour guide said this to him, he said, how many of you have been here before? And he raised his hand. And he said, you've been here before, when were you here before? And he said, two thousand years ago, I was here. You see, when Jesus Christ died, he died for us. That death was credited to us, and He did it 2,000 years ago on our behalf. When Jesus came to this earth, He suffered, bled, and died. We suffered, bled, and died because Jesus died for us. And the Bible says that. He says in verse 6, knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Galatians 2.20 says this, And this is a marvelous verse, and hopefully you have it memorized, but Galatians 2.20, it says, I am crucified with Christ. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life I now live in the flesh by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." And if you read Paul's writings, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, you know what you will find over and over in those epistles that he wrote? You and I are dead. If you're saved, you know what you have? You have a dead body and you have a living spirit. But if you are lost, You have a dead spirit and a living body. There's a different thing that you're operating and you're getting your instructions from a different place. My mother-in-law bought my children three remote-controlled cars at the gas station or somewhere. They're beautiful remote-controlled cars that I think they cost like $1.50 each, right? And when they got them, they got all these cars together, and they were so excited, and they put all these batteries in, right? And they're like, then they, they're like, look at my car go this way, and it's going this way, then it goes the other way. And they couldn't figure out what was going on. They said, the remotes are broken, right? But they all had the same frequency, so they never knew where they were getting their instructions from. And you know, a lot of times, we as Christians, we don't understand where our instructions are coming from. And they should come from the Lord. And if you're saved, it shouldn't come from your flesh because it's dead. It should come from the Holy Spirit. He that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit. But a lot of people are confused and they're taking instructions from the wrong remote control. If you are dead, then your old master, sin, no longer has dominion over you. There was a man in Moss Point, Mississippi, and he got in trouble and they issued a warrant for his arrest because his daughter was going to have a baby and it turned out to be his. Not a good thing. And so he went out into the ocean and there was a dinghy there. And you know what he did is he left a note there with the social security guard and it said, I'm sorry. And he left a handgun there tied to a rope and it said, I'm sorry. But it turned out that he tried to fake his own death and he was actually still alive. And you know why he tried to fake his own death? Because when you're dead, the law has no more dominion over you. Right? You can't prosecute a dead person. You can't hold a dead person accountable. The law has no more dominion over them. And you know, Jesus died for me, and He credited that to my account, and He said, I was buried with Him by death. And you know, the law doesn't have dominion over me any longer. I'm dead. I can't be prosecuted anymore. I'm dead. And I was sentenced to death and I received the death penalty in Jesus Christ. What more? Absolute final, right? And that's what the Bible says. Listen, you know a person that owned slaves back in the day? They couldn't tell a slave what to do if they were dead. They could yell at him all they wanted. That person was dead, and he no longer received instruction from the old master. And you know what the Bible says? Sin doesn't have any more dominion over you. Why? Because you're dead. It says you're free. You know what death does? It frees you from contracts. In Romans chapter 7, it even frees a person from their marriage vows when death occurs. Our death in Jesus Christ voided the contract we have with sin. It's dead. It's gone. Augustine, for whom the city of St. Augustine is named, he was a profligate. A prodigal. He was rebellious. He was a sinful young man. And he lived a very wicked life, but he had a mother that was praying for him, and her name was Monica. And one day Augustine got saved, and he was walking down the street, and he saw a prostitute, and he ducked his head and he went over on the other side, And she recognized him and it was somebody that he consorted with in his old life. She recognized him and he ducked his head and she came up and she said, Augustine, Augustine, it is I. He said, yes, but it is no longer I. Not me anymore. You know what, if you're born again and you're saved, the Bible says you're dead. And so if you're dead, you ought to know how a dead man ought to live, right? So I'd say, number one, there ought to be a difference in your reasoning. There ought to be a difference in your reasoning. So what are you talking about? Look at Romans 6 and verse 11. Likewise, reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. And you should underline that word, you should circle that word, because that word is one of the keys to victorious Christian living. That's the key. There ought to be a difference in your reasoning. You know what reckon means? Believe it to be so. Believe it to be true. You know what a reckoning is? It's an accounting term. Okay? When you reckon the books, it's a bookkeeping. It means you count on it. Not because you feel it. Not because you guess it. Not because you desire it. Not because you imagine it. You reckon on it because it is true. To calculate it. To calculate up on it and reckon it, and you know what it is. Reckoning is not just closing your eyes and pretending something to be true. It's acting on faith on what you know to be true. If you have some money in the bank and you get your bank statement and it says you have this much money, it doesn't matter what you feel, or it doesn't matter what you think, it matters what is reckoned there in the reckoning in the statement. That's how much money you have. And doesn't the Bible say there in Romans 6 in verse 11, Reckon ye yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin? Believe it. Reckon it. Count on it. Calculate it. I'm dead to sin. You see, we don't reason like we did before we were saved. Before we were saved, we said, oh, that's too tempting. I can't pass that up. There's no way I can get away from that. And as a saved person, we say, well, I'm dead to that. I am crucified to the world and the world unto me. I reckon it to be so. I believe it to be so. You say, well, I don't feel dead. Your feelings are the most shallow part of your nature. And salvation happens in the deepest part of you, not the shallowest part of you. It's the deepest work that God does in your soul and in your spirit, not in your feelings. There was this woman, and she went to sleep one night, and she was really tired. And as soon as she laid her head on the pillow, the alarm clock went off, and it said 6 o'clock. And she said, there's no way. I don't feel like I've slept at all. Do you ever feel like that? There's no way that it could be 6 a.m. I just laid my head down. She looks at the alarm clock, and it says six. She reaches over and looks at her phone, and she says six. She turns on the television, and the six o'clock news is on. She looks out the window and opens the blind, and the sun is coming up. And you know what she knows? It doesn't matter how she feels, it is six o'clock. And it doesn't matter how you feel. The Bible says that you are dead to sin. And it doesn't have any more dominion over you. And you died with Christ 2,000 years ago on the cross of Calvary. And it doesn't matter how you feel. It's just something that you have to reckon on. There ought to be a difference in your reasoning. You know, I've noticed... I remember the first dead person I ever saw. We went and moved into a little Amish community. And there was a man there, an Amish man. He owned the schoolhouse where we went to school. His name was Joe J. Miller. And he got cancer and he passed away. And all the Amish people came together for a funeral and they built a plywood box and they painted it black. And then these Amish preachers got up and They are the most boring preachers on earth. And if you guys are listening, I'm sorry. They're probably not watching YouTube, amen? But they are boring. And so we sat through two hours of the most boring. Oh, it's terrible. And all I could think about is like, I came here to see the dead man. That's all I want to do. I've never seen a dead person, I just want to see him. And so I remember this long line, these 200 Amish people line up, and if you're not family, you're last in the line. So we go, and I remember going up, I can see the shirt, and I can see his face and the way he looked. And you know what? He looked different than anyone I've ever seen. The color was gone and it was just different. There was nothing the same about him. And you know what I saw? That dead people don't put up a fight with the person in charge. They put this awful shirt on him and he didn't say nothing about it. He just laid there. Now listen, and if you're dead, you ought not to put fight up with the people in charge. And the Lord ought to be in charge. When I die, I want to be cremated, and I want my wife or my kids to take my ashes and hollow out a Bible, and put them in there, and glue the Bible shut. Then when my wife dies, I want them to take that Bible, and put it in the coffin, and don't tell the funeral director what's going on. And I want them to be buried with my wife's corpse. I don't know if that's a good way to say it, right? And then we can get two for the price of one. I mean, really. Listen, don't say anything to the funeral director. Don't ask him if it's okay. Just say, my mom wants to be buried with this Bible. That's what I want to happen, right? But when I'm gone, if they don't want to do that, guess what? I'm not going to argue with them. I'm not going to care. You know what they'll do? I'm dying. And I say, I want you to do this. Yeah, don't worry about it, Dad. We'll do it. Yeah, we're not going to do that. Mom taught us not to break the rules, and we're not going to do it. This will come back to bite us. And you know what's going to happen? I'm not going to say anything. The funeral director is going to get more of their inheritance, and that's your fault. I don't know what to tell you. I tried to give you a way out. But listen, dead people, they don't fight with the person in charge. They just go along with whatever is told to them. And do you fight and argue with the Lord? And do you agree with Him that you're dead to sin? Or do you argue with Him and say, no, I want this, and I have power over this, and I'm not dead to this. What if God called your husband to be a missionary where there was no Walmart? That's an awful thing. It doesn't seem like an awful thing in America, but when you go somewhere where there's no Walmart, it is an awful thing. It's terrible. And are you going to put your foot down and say, I won't go? Or are you going to reckon yourself to be dead? You see, when you're dead, there's a difference in your reasoning, and it's no longer what I want, but it's what God wants. Dead people don't get embarrassed. You know, I don't understand. I've preached at a lot of funerals, and one thing I don't understand is why people go and kiss a dead person. I do not get it. It's weird to me. If you do that, I'm not judging you, okay? I won't watch. But I've preached a funeral before, and there's this dude laying in the coffin, and his aunt comes up with all this lipstick on, And she starts kissing him. I'm like, man, it is a good thing he is dead. Because that would embarrass me. I couldn't put up with that, right? You know what Christians do? Listen, the Lord tells you to speak for Him, and He tells you to witness for Him, and do things for Him, and you say, I'm not going to do it. I'm embarrassed. Listen, there ought to be a difference in your reasoning. It ought to be different. They don't get mad at the preacher. Their families do. But they don't. Dead men don't own anything. Right? Listen, is it yours? Or is it all the Lord's? The Bible says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. You know, a lot of times we say that this is mine and I earned it. Listen, God owns 100%. And we give Him back 10% but He asked for it, but He owns all 100%. Everything that we have is a gift from the Lord, and we don't own anything. The flesh says, how dare he talk to me like that? But if you're dead, they don't get offended. The Bible says, great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them. Number two, there ought to be a difference in your deeds. Look at chapter 6-7. It says this, "...knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin." There was an old man, He was a cemetery director, and he was driving with some people and showing them the cemetery. He said, we do not bury anybody that smokes in this cemetery. And the person was the very idea. This is so offensive. Why would you not do that? He said, dead people, they don't smoke. Now there's a lot of people here that are dead because they did, but we don't bury people here that smoke. And you know what? When the Bible says that we're dead to sin, it says that it doesn't have the power over us that it used to. And it says that we have the ability through the Lord Jesus Christ and Him freeing us from sin to do what the Bible says and no longer have that sin have power over us. And you know what people tell me all the time? I can't help it. No, you choose not to help it. Doesn't the Bible say this, that there hath no temptation taken you? But such is common to man, but God is faithful and He'll make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. I do not believe for a minute in sinless perfection. Right? But I do believe that every time I sin, it is my fault, and I need to take accountability for that. Because you know what there ought to be when you're saved and you're dead? To sin is there ought to be a difference in our deeds. He gave us the power to overcome it. And it changes the way that we act. And so, there was this... I'll never forget the first time I preached a funeral, there was this man As far as I heard, he didn't live a very clean life, and he was wicked, and mucho problema, as they say. And the process of time came, he died, and his son asked me to preach the funeral. And I didn't know what to do, I'd never preached a funeral before, A rough crowd. So I did the only thing I knew to do, and I called Pastor Ryman. And I said, brother, I've never preached a funeral before. What do I do? He said, well, tell me about the guy. He said, well, he died of a drug overdose, and all this stuff was going on, and he said, brother, you can't be a chicken, man. He said, you have to go in there, And you have to tell them how sorry that guy was, and the reason he died, and you have to just tell them that if they're messing around with sin, they're going to die the same way. They're probably going to die before the day is over. And he said, preach hell so hot that they can smell the smoke. And he said, don't worry about nothing, you just do this and call me and let me know what happened. And I didn't know he was sending me just for a story or something. And so, I got up and I preached, and I preached that, and I gave an invitation, and seven people got saved. But while I was preaching, people stood up and told me to sit down and shut up. People cussed me out. They flipped me off when I was preaching. And we went out to the cemetery out there, the girlfriend comes by and puts a rose on the coffin, and then the wife comes by and puts a rose on the coffin, and the one guy grabs the rose, I don't know, the rose and throws it down and smashes it, and they're fighting over the coffin, and it almost falls in the ground. And somebody said, and I don't remember the guy's name, but they said, if so-and-so was here, he wouldn't put up with this. But you know what he did? He didn't do a thing. Because he was dead, and there was a difference in his deeds. He wasn't stressed out. He wasn't worried about his wife and his girlfriend fighting. And you know what? The Bible says, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the dead men, they don't lust after people, they don't struggle with pornography, dead men don't serve the god of the high or the booze, dead people. You know what is crazy? If you allow your flesh to rule, you're going to give account for the deeds that are done in the body. Because the flesh can't be punished for it because it's dead. It can't. You think about this. So many people, they serve their whole life, they feed the flesh, they do what the flesh wants, right? But guess who's going to be standing before God? You are. And your flesh isn't going to be there. So you are serving something, and you are giving something to something that all it can do is rob and steal and destroy, and you're going to be left holding the bag. And you know what the Lord did? He died to set you free from this. It said in verse 12, "...let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, that you should obey it to the lust thereof." Let me ask you this, who is reigning in your life? Is it sin or Jesus? You know, sin is a ruler and it wants to take over. And the Bible says this in verse 6, knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Verse 7, he that is dead is freed from sin. Verse 10, and that he died, he died unto sin once, but he liveth, he liveth unto God. Verse 11, reckon yourselves also to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Verse 12, let not sin reign in your mortal bodies that you should obey it in the lust thereof. Verse 13, neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. Verse 14, death shall not have dominion over you. Verse 16, that whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, His servants you are whom you obey, whether of sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. God be thanked that you were the servants of sin. Were. Verse 18, being made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness. Verse 20, when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. Verse 22, but now being made free from sin, and become servants of God, you have your fruit unto holiness and everlasting life." You know what the Lord did? He set you free, and He killed the old slave master, and now you can serve the Lord Jesus Christ. You ought to put on the new man, which is created after Him in righteousness and true holiness. The third thing that I want to say and will be done is this, is there ought to be a difference in your walk. Look at Romans chapter 6 and verse 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." When a person dies, they pass over, and they go to heaven, and they're walking in newness of life, right? There's something that changes. And it says when salvation occurs, and we've been buried into death in Jesus Christ and raised up from the dead, we should walk, it's a choice, you have to do it, in newness of life. There ought to be a difference in your walk. I remember I had a friend, and his name was Jeff Johnson, and I went to school with him. And he was born deaf, and his parents didn't know it. And then they found out by the time he was four years old that there was something wrong. And they went, and they got his tubes removed from his ears. And he said, I remember walking out of the doctor's office, and I walked outside, and as soon as I got outside, I heard this incredible roar. And he said, I looked up and overhead there was a plane passing by. And he said, I grew and I learned so much in such a short period of time and my life was forever changed. It changed everything about me. Because for the first time from that day, I was different than when I'd been born and it changed everything. And if you've been born again, you can look back over your life and say, I'm a whole lot different than I was than the day I got saved. How have you changed? Are you walking in newness of life? What has changed since you've been born again? Has your lifestyle changed? Has your thought pattern changed? Has anything changed? You know, I used to only do right when someone was watching me. And if I could get away with it, I would do it. We gave the kids, we have them write these journals sometimes, right? What I would do if I was invisible. And these kids grew up in a Christian home, they're saved, and they're still horrible criminals. But before I was saved, the things that we would do... Listen, if you got saved, there ought to be a difference in the way that you walk. You know, I don't understand. I don't want to spend my life trying to make people do right that don't want to do right. I don't have time for that. Listen, if you're saved and you want to walk in newness of life and you want to serve the Lord, then praise the Lord. Let's go and let's do something for the Lord together. But if you're still stuck in that old life and you want to keep going after that, I'm not going to keep beating you over the head. I don't have time for that. I want to go, and I want to walk, and I want to serve the Lord, and if you want to come, let's go." I heard about the old preacher, and he used to go out. Every day there was a railroad track by his house, and he'd take his lawn chair out there every time the train would go, and he'd just sit there and watch it. And they said, preacher, why are you going out there and watching the train? He said, Oh, I just like to see something go that doesn't need to be pushed. Amen? And the Lord saved you, and He wants to see you walk in newness of life, and you shouldn't have to be pushed into it. Ephesians 2, verse 2 says this, Where in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh unto children of disobedience. And it says, we all had our conversation and timed fast in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desire of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy for His great love wherein He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ. By grace are you saved, and hath raised us up together, and made us sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace and His kindness towards us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." It's a different walk. We walked according to the course of this world, and now we walk in the good works that the Lord ordained that we should walk. Look at 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17. In the Old Testament, there was a man named Jacob. met with God. He met with the angel. And he spent a night with him. And he wouldn't let him go until he blessed him. And the angel touched the hollow of his thigh, and it says, as he passed over Penuel, the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. After he met with God, he walked differently. 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17, Therefore, if any man be in Christ Jesus, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new." I used to have this sticker on my refrigerator, and I loved this picture. My old preacher drew it. And it had a man walking in the desert, and he was just downcast. the picture's cut in half as he's walking into the newness of life, and everything's green, and he's all refreshed. Let me ask you this. As you look at life the way you're walking in life, does it look more like that old picture, or does it look like the new picture? Because God wants you to walk in newness of life. He wants to change the way you walk. There ought to be a difference in your walk. And it should be noticeable. You know, without Jesus Christ, every change is regressive and it's temporary. So how do we do this? Look at verse 19. Look at verse 13 and then verse 19. Romans 6, 13 and 19. Neither yield yourselves, members, as instruments of unrighteousness, unto sin, but yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace." See, not only did you die with Christ and were buried with Christ, but you also rose with the Lord in newness of life. Right? And so, what do you do? It says you, verse 19, as you yielded your members, servants, to uncleanness and to iniquity, even now yield your members, servants, unto righteousness and to holiness. So you wake up in the morning and you say, praise the Lord, thank you for giving yourself to save me. Right? Thank you. Praise the Lord. And then you say, and thank You not only for giving Yourself to save me, but thanking You for giving Yourself for me. Right? I want to walk with You today. I want to spend time with You today. I want to walk in newness of life. And then you raise your hands like somebody that has a gun to your head and say, Lord, now I submit to Your will and I submit my instruments to what You want. And I'm dead. and you are alive in me, and I want you to live your life through me. Lord, what do you want to do today? And live your life through me. And you yield your members instruments of righteousness to do what God wants you to do, just like you yielded it to the sin, now you yield it to the Lord Jesus Christ. am now dead, and my life is hid with Christ in God." And Galatians 2.20 said, I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. And that's how you do it. That's how a dead person ought to live. All right, if I can have the piano player come forward and we will stand.
