We have been learning and speaking a lot about the death, burial and resurrection of the believer with Christ. Paul spoke of this in the text we read tonight. We have been baptized into Jesus' death, so we must consider it done , as far as being dead goes. All mankind must die due to sin. The Old Testament stated that the soul that sinneth shall die.
Death is the penalty for sin.
And for that we must die. Adam made us all sinners. Like a looming monster at the end of earth's journey, death stands ahead of mankind. Every single person will confront death. Thank God that He chose to do something about this.
