No more seperation

Wednesday June 25th, Romans 6: 6-11 Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life—no longer at sin's every beck and call! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ's sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection. This new life doesn’t mean we don’t sin, sure we do, every day, every hour. But sin is that which separates us from God so to take the grace of God as an excuse for our unchanged lives is to take this gift and turn it into a sin. So are Christians any better than anyone else? Statistics don’t bear that out. We are not any better, we just have some half-baked idea who to thank for this gift of life, and we try, try, try to live it a bit closer to the path God has set before us.
