So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11 English
Standard Version

In Christ we are born again! Unsaved people are
dead in their trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1). Paul refers to them as sons
(and daughters) of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2). The word ‘dead’ here carries
the connotation of being unresponsive. Unsaved people are dead to God (all they
can do is sin), but in Christ we have new life! Through Christ’s saving power
we have life anew.
In Christ you are dead to
sin! If you are truly saved, then sin has no power over you anymore. No more
than you give it. You are dead to sin. You don’t have to give in. The habit
that has been plaguing you for years. The mindset you want to break so badly.
That thing…those things you hope no one ever finds out about you. None of these
sins can enslave you! Child of God you are dead to sin and alive in Christ. The
same power that conquered sin when Christ rose from the dead lives in you!
