United in Death and Life

Unity with Christ signifies sharing in His death and resurrection, leading to a transformative experience where believers die to the dominion of sin and are raised into a new life. This liberation from sin's reign calls for a conscious effort to avoid living in it, as believers are reminded of their new allegiance to the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Therefore, they must not allow themselves to become instruments of sin, recognizing their new identity and freedom from sin's power.
