We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin. Romans 6:6
Many people believe that our flesh just can’t help but be bad. They believe that our flesh is evil and that we will constantly be at battle with it. But there is a glorious Truth, a Truth that sets us free, and it is that our Father has made our bodies ineffective and inactive for evil. The Cross was that strong. The Cross’ power dwarfs our fleshes power to be used for evil.
Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11
Because of the power of our Lord and what He came and did, we can actually consider ourselves dead to sin. We can actually have peace and joy in the Truth that our bodies are ineffective and inactive for evil. We can truly thank our Father for now making all things work out for our good, Romans 8:28.
