Here are six or seven phrases, no two alike, all expressing some new phase of our oneness with the Risen Lord, as before with the Crucified Christ. He is permitted to share in the likeness of His Resurrection. The Body of Sin is to be regarded as destroyed in His grave. Henceforth the believer is not to be the slave of sin. Out of Christ's grave is to come a new Life with Him.
Resurrection implies deliverance from the dominion of death.
Our new Life is to be a Life unto God. Taken together, these thoughts constitute a body of truth that is so wondrously complete, that nothing can be added to it, and so divinely uplifting that it should make continuance in sinning impossible. Let us seek to get at least a glimpse of the meaning of some of these marvellous expressions. View our complete library of articles online. A Bag With Holes.
