Those Who are Dead to Sin; Sin No More! Be Instruments of Righteousness

1 What shall we say, then? Should we go on habitually sinning, so that mercy and pardon may abound (Romans 6:15)? 2 By no means!

Romans 6:15
What then? Shall we willingly break The Law because we are not under the curse of the law (certificate of debt/death decrees) but under grace (in The Yahushaic Covenant where his blood covers the death decrees)? By no means!

How can we, who have died to (habitual) sin, live (dwell) in it any longer? 3 Or are you ignorant of the fact that as many of us as were Mikveh’d into The Yahushaic Covenant were Mikveh’d into the death (sacrifice) of Yahusha our High Priest? 4 Therefore, we are buried with him by Mikveh into his death (which covers the Death Decrees/Certificate of Debt);

Hebrews 2:15
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of (the) death (decrees).

Colossians 2
13 When you were dead in your transgressions (held captive to the death decrees) and the uncircumcision of your flesh (lost among the Gentile nations), Yahuah made you alive together with Yahusha, having forgiven us all our transgressions (covered the death decrees which demand our death for our sin), 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of (death) decrees against us, which (the Death Decrees) was hostile to us; and Yahuah has taken the certificate of debt (death decrees in the Law) out of the way, having nailed the certificate of debt (that justifies our death) to the stake with Yahusha.

in order that, just as Messiah was raised from the dead according to the Plan of Salvation of the Father (written in The Heavely Scroll before the foundation of the world… CAPRICORNUS),

CAPRICORNUS: Eternal life comes from his death, he's the Arrow of God, he is pierced, yet springs up again in abundant life

we, also, may walk in newness of life (denying our old sinful desires Ephesians 4:24).

Ephesians 4
22 to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like Yahuah in true righteousness and holiness.

5 For if we (the Bride) have become one (the two shall become one Mark 10:8) with (the Bridegroom) Yahusha (The Yahushaic Covenant is a marriage covenant Matthew 9:15, Matthew 25:5-10, John 3:29, Psalm 19:5, Isaiah 61:10), by sharing a death like his, we will also be one with him in sharing his resurrection by a new life lived for Yahuah. 6 For we know this: that our old self was sacrificed with him, so that the body of (habitual) sin might be destroyed; in that, from now on, we would not serve sin (we will still sin, but have a change of heart toward The Law fulfillment of Yahuah’s promise in The Yahushaic Covenant).

Ezekiel 36: 26, 27
I will give you a new heart (for my Law and write my Law on it) and put a new spirit (of loving obedience) in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone (legalistic observance of the Law without love) and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahuah, “when I will make a new covenant with The House of Israel and with The House of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke (The Mosaic Covenant), although I was a husband to them,” declares Yahuah. 33 “But this is the (new marriage) covenant which I will make with The House of Israel after those days,” declares Yahuah, “I will put My law (marriage vows) within them and on their heart, I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahuah,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahuah, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” (see Zachariah 3)

7 For he who is dead, is freed from sin. 8 Now if we died in covenant with Yahusha the Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him (his resurrection is our hope Acts 23:6, as Yahuah fulfilled His promise in The Heavenly Scroll CAPRICORNUS) ; 9 Knowing that the Messiah, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him. 10 For the death that he died, he died to sin once, for all; but the life that he lives, he lives eternally to Yahuah (as our Eternal High Priest). 11 In the same way, consider yourselves also dead to sin, but alive to Yahuah in covenant with Yahusha the Messiah, our King (LEO).

LEO: The Lion King is aroused for rending, the Serpent flees, the Bowl of Wrath is upon him, his Carcass is devoured. The Lion of the tribe of Judah rules as King.

12 Therefore, do not allow habitual sin to rule in your mortal body (we still sin but no longer live in habitual sin Romans 7), so that you do not obey its sinful lusts.

Romans 7
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good. 17 In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in the law of Yahuah. 23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to Yahuah, through The Yahushaic Covenant! So then, with my mind I serve the law of Yahuah, but with my flesh (sarki) I serve the law of sin.

g4561 ‘sarki’ flesh - Thayer:
2a) the body of a man 2b) used of natural or physical origin, generation, or relationship 2b1) born of natural generation 4) the flesh, denotes mere human nature, the earthly nature of man apart from divine influence, and therefore prone to sin and opposed to God.

13 And do not offer the members of your body to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to Yahuah, as those who have returned from death to life, and offer the members of your body to Yahuah as instruments of righteousness.

 

Servants To Whom You Obey!

14 For habitual sin will not rule over you. For are you not under the curse of the Law (Death Decrees), and therefore under Yahuah's undeserved pardon (who covered the Death Decrees as a result of the atoning sacrifice of our High Priest Yahusha)? 15 What? May we sin as though we are not under the Law, yet under Yahuah's undeserved pardon (this is the position of Christianity, they are not “under The Law” and therefore violate His Holy Days, Sabbaths, etc.)? By no means! 16 Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey--whether of sin, which leads to death (The Law of Sin and Death), or of obedience, which leads to righteousness and eternal life (The Law of the Spirit of Life)? 17 But thank Yahuah, though you were once servants of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart (the Law is written on our hearts Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36: 26, 27) as I  delivered to you through my teaching. 18 Being then set free from sin, you have become servants of righteousness. 19 I put this in human terms because of your natural limitations. For just as you used to offer the members of your body as servants of uncleanness, and of sin which leads to more sin; so now yield your members as servants to righteousness and holiness (which leads to sanctification like The Messiah’s life).

John 17:19-21
“And for their sakes I sanctify myself (Yahusha had to be perfected through sanctification, he is The Way we all follow), that they also might be sanctified through the truth (by following his example which is the True Way that leads to Eternal Life John 14:6). Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word (enter into covenant with him as the Bride); That they all may be one (family); as you, Father, are in (covenant with) me (to be adopted then begotten as Your first born-again son), and I in (covenant with) you (crying out Abba Father Galatians 4:6), that they also may be one in (covenant with) us (and adopted then begotten too): that the world may believe that you hast sent me (to prove The Way works where Yahuah perfects our sinful flesh and forgives our iniquity and remembers our sin no more through Mikveh).”

 Hebrews 2
11 For both He who sanctifies (Yahuah) and those who are sanctified (Yahusha and the rest of the sons) are all from one Father; for which reason Yahusha is not ashamed to call them brothers.

 

The Wages of Sin is Death!

20 For when you were servants to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. 21 But then what benefit did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end result of breaking The Law is death (from the Death Decrees)! 22 But now that you have been set free from the threat of death because of sin (Hebrews 2:15),

Hebrews 2:15
14 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery (to the Death Decrees/Certificate of Debtby their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.…

and have become servants to Yahuah, the benefit you reap leads to holiness through sanctification, and the end result is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of Yahuah is eternal life in covenant with Yahusha the Messiah, our High Priest.

Ephesians 2:8 – NLT
Yahuah saved you by His Grace when you believed (and kept Passover in light of Yahusha’s sacrifice). And you can't take credit for this; it is a ‘gift’ from Yahuah (the Death Decrees have been covered for those who believe in and keep Passover in light of Yahusha).
