The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin. Once for all, the life he lives, he lives to God. So in the same way, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies so that you obey its evil desires. And do not offer the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life. Offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness, for sin shall not be your master. You are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we're not under law, but under grace? No, don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you're slaves to the one whom you obey, whether you're a slave to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness. …

Romans 6, 10, the death that he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life that he lives, he lives to God. Likewise, you also reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus, our Lord. God doesn't want you just living every day to try not to sin. And I know a lot of people live that way. They just wake up and they spend their whole day trying not to sin. Well, the problem is that you keep thinking about the sin and then you're trying not to do it. The better thing is to focus on God. Look, when I was a young man, my dad took me motorcycle riding, and we would be out in the desert, and I would be riding a little motorcycle, and I would see a rock, and I'd be like, Dad, there's a rock, and he'd say, look away from the rock. Do you know why? Because if you're riding, and you're looking at the rock, where are you going to go on the motorcycle? Right into the rock. So he'd say, look where you want to go, okay? And so you're riding, and I'd see the rock, and my temptation when I was little is like, oh here it comes here it comes and I go okay look away look away and then I would get past it and I …

… Death no longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life that he lives, he lives to God. Likewise, you also reckon or consider yourself to be dead to sin. Okay, ponder that verse with me for a minute. Likewise, in the same way, what has he done?

In fact, if you want to write a bestseller, just write a self-help book. Because people want help. And there's a lot of stuff on the power of positive thinking. You don't even have to know Jesus. If you think positive, your life will be better. Not eternally, but here and now. …
… died with Christ, we trust that we will also live with Him. Seeing that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again, death no longer has dominion over Him. Because the death He died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. So also, count yourselves as dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, do not let sin rule over your mortal body to make you obey its passions, and do not offer your limbs, your members to sin as instruments for its unrighteous purposes. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have been brought from death to life and offer your limbs, your members, to God as instruments for His righteous purposes. Because sin will no longer be your master. Since you are no longer under the law, but you are under grace. You're under God's favor.
