“So you also must consider
yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” —Romans 6:11 ESV
We
are to count as true not something that we want to be true, but something that
is actually true of us. “So you also must consider (count) yourselves (because
of your union with Christ) dead to sin”. This is not something I want to be
true but something that is true. This has already been done for me by another;
I am to count this as a fact. The fact is that because I am united to Christ,
and from the moment I became united to him, I am already dead to sin, to the
law and to death itself.
