When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. – Romans 6:10-11(NLT)
DEAD TO SIN’S POWER
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believed in Christ, your sins died
His blood will cover you and bring you to life
He broke the power of sin by his blood
That’s how much we are loved by God.
Now that Christ was resurrected and alive again
He literally opened for us the door of heaven
So consider yourselves dead to the power of sin
With Christ’s blood, he broke sin’s power so you can win.

Many Christians take for granted the power of the blood of Jesus. No wonder they do so much to work at their salvation. Jesus Christ died only once, so we are all saved once and for all from the bondage of sin so we can live free lives. We need to believe and commit that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. When we dwell and ruminate on the consequence of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we will be able to enjoy our lives. We will be able to grasp the power we have through Jesus Christ and use this authority over sin. We must therefore believe that sin has no longer any power over us.

Why do some Christians still struggle with sin?
