When we accept Jesus we are dead to sin but alive in Christ. “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24”. While our physical bodies are alive our spirit is united with Christ. God has written His laws upon our hearts. “God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:2”. Some may think “I know the laws of God”, however they don’t obey them. God wants us to be both hearers and doers of the Holy Bible. What we do doesn’t earn us salvation but rather is the result of it. Our deeds are filthy compared to the righteousness of God. Amen
