DEAD

The old life has been buried with Christ.

Through union with Jesus, the believer’s old self was crucified, buried, and put away. Sin no longer defines the believer because the life once ruled by the old nature has ended and a new life in the nature of Christ has begun.

DEAD is a reminder that the Christian life does not begin with self-improvement. It begins with death and resurrection.

“For we were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”

Romans 6:4
