Let s look at those now. The first word is death. Death might seem to be an odd word related to victory. But a tyrant cannot control a dead person. Further Scripture tells us the rest of the story in regard to death for like Jesus died and was raised we have been raised from the dead to serve God.
Believers are to know that they have died to sin.
Paul dealt with a false inference some have in regard to grace. Paul soundly rejected that idea. The reason he gave for not continuing in sin was that believers have died to sin and have been raised to serve God. Paul taught our union with Christ to the Galatian believers in light of the confusion presented to these Christians about the gospel of grace from certain teachers. The false teachers in Galatia preached that one had to keep the Law to be saved.
