Furthermore, you confess publicly that by the same power which raised him from the dead, you have been raised to newness of life. Just as Christ shall never die again so you shall never die. The sting of death is sin and the Lord Jesus Christ put away all you sin. Sin's strength is the law and Christ satisfied the law as your Representative. You confess that just as Christ lives unto God, so you now live unto God. Just as Christ is holy and righteous, you confess to the world that in him you have been made the very righteousness of God. By faith in Christ Jesus your Lord, you count yourself dead indeed to sin, but alive unto God. You are no longer led by the flesh but by the Holy Spirit; no longer under the law but under grace. Sin no longer has dominion over you, but now Christ Jesus the Lord rules in your heart. His people are your people; his will is your will; his ways are your ways. You confess that you are in a new kingdom, higher than this earthly realm, and you now are as perfectly accepted of God as Christ Jesus the Lord. (Galatians 3:27; 2 Cor 5: 17.)
