For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
This morning's passage was incredibly encouraging and convicting for me personally: I have been set free from the enslaving power of sin. This is great news, but it leads to the question, 'why do I continue to live as if I'm a slave to sin, still under the dominion of Satan?'
My prayer for today is that I will live in this reality. One of the questions this passage raises for me is, what does it mean for me to 'offer myself as a slave to righteousness'? Clearly Paul is using a metaphor to discuss the cultivation of virtue, but how does one begin, and how does one continue on that path?
