Romanos 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 6:8

Now if we be dead with Christ
This does not imply any doubt about it, but is rather a taking it for granted: seeing we are dead with Christ by union with him, as our head and representative, and by communion with him in the benefits of his death, and being planted together in the likeness of it; or being dead to the law, sin, and the world, through the virtue and efficacy of Christ's death:

we believe that we shall also live with him;
not only a life of justification by faith in his righteousness; and a life of sanctification from him, and to his glory; the continuance of which, and a perseverance in it, are firmly believed; but a life of glory and happiness with him hereafter, both in the new Jerusalem, in the new heavens, and new earth, in the glorious state of the church on earth, and in heaven to all eternity; where they shall be personally and visibly with him, in soul and body, and shall live in the most intimate and uninterrupted communion with him, enjoying the highest pleasure, and the most consummate happiness; and are therefore under the greatest obligation, whilst here on earth, to live, not in sin, but to righteousness, and to his praise and glory; with whom they are now dead to sin, and with whom they not only hope, but believe they shall live throughout the endless ages of eternity.

Romanos 6:8 In-Context

6 Sabemos que nuestro antiguo ser pecaminoso fue crucificado con Cristo para que el pecado perdiera su poder en nuestra vida. Ya no somos esclavos del pecado.

7 Pues, cuando morimos con Cristo, fuimos liberados del poder del pecado;

8 y dado que morimos con Cristo, sabemos que también viviremos con él.

9 Estamos seguros de eso, porque Cristo fue levantado de los muertos y nunca más volverá a morir. La muerte ya no tiene ningún poder sobre él.

10 Cuando él murió, murió una sola vez, a fin de quebrar el poder del pecado; pero ahora que él vive, vive para la gloria de Dios.
