The Bible teaches that believers are dead to sin through their unification with Christ in His death and resurrection, enabling them to live in newness of life.
In Romans 6, the Apostle Paul expounds on the concept of being dead to sin, emphasizing that through baptism, believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. This union signifies that the old self, dominated by sin, has been crucified, allowing believers to walk in newness of life. Paul argues that because of this transformation, sin should no longer reign over believers, as they are now under grace rather than law.
