02/12/24 COMPLIMENTARY, NOT CONTRADICTORY
Being a Christian is being alive and being dead at the same time.
The Bible tells us that we must be alive to God (born again, born of God, born of the Spirit), and we must be dead to sin (crucified with Christ).
Neither one is optional, both are obligatory.
Both are liberating.
Alive to God and dead to sin, are the two sides to the same coin (salvation).
If you are born of God, you keep His commandments.
If you are dead to sin, you resist temptation.
