The Christian is dead to Sin and Alive in Christ. It is real and actual but this doesn't mean we have no encounters with sin… or that we have no battles with the spirit of this world. Quite the opposite. These old and oft times once docile companions of ours, sin and satan, are now our enemies. And they – banished from our spirits – That part of us that communes and lives with and in Christ – they banished from our spirits come down hard on our flesh. Sin is still at play in my flesh and I am more aware of it than ever. I hate it. It is not what I want. But to often it is what I find myself doing. What can I do? Reckon Yourself Dead... Do the Math...
There are five things summed up in this reckoning… #1 – You are not under condemnation because of sins in your flesh... #2 – You have been separated from the workings of sin in your life. You view it as apart from your essential nature. We approach it with a sense of personal separation from it and personal standing above it. That it is not a part of us in our spirits but removed from us in our flesh. Romans 7:17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. #3 - Reckoning Changes how we view sin in our lives and approach sin. We now approach it with a self assertion. We assert ourselves against it. #4 - Next in Reckoning we sum up new expectations of What God is going to do for us. #5 - Reckoning Empowers Your Actions against sin. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
