WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD, Wednesday, December 13, 2023 Romans 6:9-14 “Considering/Reckoning Ourselves To Be Dead To Sin”

God calls for us to consider or reckon certain things to be true for us as believers. To “consider/reckon” means to accept something as true and a fact that can be acted upon. When we were saved, we “considered/reckoned” that the Romans 1-5 message of our sin and accountability to be true, that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sin, and that we could be saved by repentance and faith in Him. Now, in the same way, God calls for us to “consider/reckon” some other revealed facts are true. Specifically, we are to consider (reckon, trust) that we have died to sin and that we are now alive to God in Christ Jesus.
