You got justified
(Rom. 6:6-7)

People experience various troubles because of sins. No one is free from sins. Even we are forgiven and become the children of God, we are not free from sins while we are living with flesh.

1. A life dominated by sin
We are free from the laws of sins and death thanks to the grace of the cross. The sins, however make us troubled while we are living. Therefore, we are worried and conflicted due to sins. Even the great disciple of Jesus, Paul confessed that he even did evil things although he wanted to do good. (Rom. 7:19) We had to be judged by God but we are forgiven sinners thanks to unfailing love of God. Therefore, we should be sensitive to sins. Instead of judging and criticizing others, we should look back our ourselves. By being alarmed, we should overcome and defeat sins.

2. We who died to sin
People who believe in Jesus and are saved are baptized. Baptism refers to the ceremonial meaning the death in the water with the old inner being and rebirth again with Jesus. By believing in Jesus and being baptized, we are released from the slavery of sins and rather we enjoy the new life in Jesus Christ. It has already happened with faith. Therefore, we should live with the new self- image. We should consider ourselves dead to the sins and alive to God in Jesus Christ. Jesus was sacrificed on the cross and resurrected for this reason. Make sure that you are the new creature in Jesus Christ and live as the new one.

3. A life got justified
We should proclaim that we are new creatures in Jesus Christ and become righteous. (Rom. 6:17-18) Do not live as a slave to the sins. Proclaim the verse based on Galatians Chapter 2 verse 20 to win against sins. We cannot do it by ourselves but we can live the life in which we die and Jesus lives once we are filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit so that we can live as small Jesus. No one can judge us. Jesus holds us tightly. As a person regarded righteous by God, we should overcome the sins and give glory to God.
