Die With Christ, Live With Christ (Rom 6:5-11), Part 2/4

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I still battle sin if I belong to Christ,” we go straight to the heart of Romans 6 and refuse the shallow answers. We put weight on Paul’s words that our “old man” was crucified with Christ, and we ask the hard, honest follow-up: if that’s true, what exactly is happening when temptation still hits, habits still flare, and spiritual warfare still feels constant?We unpack the difference between sin being present and sin reigning. The body of sin is not your physical body, and “destroyed” does not mean you reach sinless perfection overnight. It means sin’s dominion is legally broken, its authority is overthrown, and its power is progressively weakened through sanctification. We talk assurance of salvation, eternal security, and why justification by faith is a forensic verdict grounded in Christ’s finished work, not your daily performance.We also confront a modern confusion point: the claim that asking God for forgiveness proves you were never saved. We argue the opposite. Christians confess because they now recognize sin as sin, hate what once felt normal, and run to Christ rather than hide. Repentance is not the mechanism that keeps you saved; it’s the fruit of being saved.If this conversation helps you breathe again, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs steadier assurance, and leave a review so more people can find it.
