"We know better now, we don't have to live like this. Go tell them all we don't have to live like this!" These words from Icon for Hire's song Get Well totally sum up this chapter. We weren't buried with Christ so that we could continue to walk in our old lives-- we died with Him so that we could walk in new life! We are no longer slaves to sin, for we have been set free by Christ's blood! Thanks be to God!!!  Read less

Is there a certain sin that seems to have a foothold in your life? And does it almost seem as though the sin is getting more and more powerful each month, each year, and tragically, each decade? Do you wonder if you ever will gain victory over it? Or worse, are you beginning to wonder if you are really a Christian? Sin is a horrible master, and it finds a willing servant in the human body. Sin wants to dominate you, but the good news is that as a Christian, you don't have to be dominated by sin any longer. The Bible says, "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin" (Romans 6:6 NIV). There is a part of us that is drawn to the holy things of God, and there is a part of us that can still be drawn to the unholy things of this world. We all have that struggle. It is almost shocking, especially if you have been a believer for many years, that there still can be an attraction to sinful things. Here is what we need to remember: We will never get to a point where we are temptation-proof. But I do think we can get to a point where sin will not be so alluring. It comes with growing deeply in our faith, learning more about Jesus, and being so enraptured with His love that we see this world for what it is. I think the classic hymn says it well: "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace." To overcome sin, we need to know, we need to reckon, and we need to yield. Romans 6:11 says, "Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (NKJV). To know has to do with the mind, and it is implied in the phrase, "likewise you also." These three words refer back to the truths in Romans 6:1–10. The apostle Paul laid the groundwork, showing us that we are no longer under the jurisdiction of sin, and it no longer has a rightful claim over our lives as children of God. For Christians to live out the fullness of their new lives in Christ, they must realize what God has done for them. We are not merely remodeled sinners; we are remade saints. To reckon focuses on the heart. The word "reckon" used in Romans 6:11 means "to take into account," or "to count as true." Reckoning is not acting as if it were so; it is acting because it is so. Reckoning is not claiming a promise as much as it is acting on a fact. God does not command us to be dead to sin. Rather, He tells us that we are dead to sin and alive to God. Then He commands us to act on it. And even if we don’t act on it, it is still true. To yield deals primarily with the will. Romans 6:13 tells us, "And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God" (NKJV). The word "present" means, "to give into." God is saying, "Yield to Me. Present yourself to Me." Each and every day, we are to present ourselves to God. Think of those in the Bible who presented their lives and their bodies to God and how powerfully they were used. For example, a sling in David's hand defeated the Philistines. Paul's dedicated feet took him from city to city to proclaim the gospel. John's eyes saw visions of the future, his ears heard God's message, and his fingers wrote it all down in the Book of Revelation. It is your choice to what and to whom you are going to yield yourself. And it is an intelligent decision to base your actions on what God has said in His Word. You have more than enough power to live this Christian life. You have the righteousness purchased by Christ with His own blood. So start taking hold of what God has already given you. Live in the newness of life for which Jesus gave His own.  Read less

An otherwise human event, the census, is necessary to get Joseph from Nazareth all the way down to Bethlehem in time for Mary to give birth in the right place. Caesar Augustus was the first Roman emperor. He had defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra with whom he was competing for control of Rome. Once he seized power, rather than restore Rome to a republic, which was ruled by laws, he set himself up as Emperor. The objective of the census was taxation - he had to get money from taxes to get the Roman economy back on its feet after decades of internal civil war. I'm sure Mary & Joseph were not happy with the thought of having to travel to Bethlehem when she was so close to delivering her baby. But they had no choice. God used the decree of the Roman emperor to get them to where they needed to be. Shepherds were not just thought of as peaceful farmer types, but were sort of on the edge of society and considered unreliable and perhaps thieves. Mary and Joseph take Jesus to Jerusalem to be consecrated to God. Simeon comes across them and now he prophesies that he has seen the God's salvation in Jesus. And Simeon says that Jesus will be a light for the Gentiles. So right at the very beginning of his life, the Gentiles (me!) are included in his ministry. At some point in his life, Jesus became aware of who he was and what his mission was to be. When he was 12 he went to the temple instead of staying with his parents and was found discussing the law with the Jewish teachers.Even at that age, he was aware of who he was. So what happened between birth and 12? We don't know. People have tried to speculate and there are some fanciful stories, but the reality is that the Bible is silent on the topic.  Read less
