TO DIE TO THE SIN

    All those who recognize God's plan of salvation for humanity (Jn.3.16-17), and accept the sovereignty of King Jesus in their lives are "called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (1-Co.1.2), for without holiness no one will see the Lord (He.12.14)

    The apostle Paul exhorts us: "... let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2-Co.7.1). The word "holy" is the title of those who are, in their way of life, "set apart for God," who have "died to sin", thus being justified before God (Ro.6.7).

    "Die to sin" is not having the habit attitudes that go against the divine government. Anyone can have occasional errors and unpremeditated, which can be amended or corrected. Because as long as we humans live in the presence of sin, and we have to fight against his power. But when our sinful tendencies dominate us above our sincere desires to please God, it is clear indication that we are still "carnal" (1-Co.3.1-3), not born again in the Spirit of God.
