Romans 5:12-13,
“12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.”
If something or rather someone cannot die because their nature is immortal then death cannot affect them or have any influence. This was and is true now with and in Christ according to His power towards those who believe1.
Verse 13 above says “sin is not imputed when there is no law.” If death is by sin according to verse 12, then death is not imputed2, reckoned or set to one’s account in Christ.
In Him, my conscience is purged from dead works. Dead works. Truly, in Him, I am being separated from death more as I grow in Him who is life3. In Him, I am becoming life according to the revelation of Him in me. In Him, I share in His death, but only to resurrect and live in continual newness of life daily. His will in me desires life for all because of love.
Romans 8:2, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
Obeying a religious to-do list does not impart life. Revelation by hearing and hearing the word imparts life.
