Obedience unto death


Been reading this for a while. I saw it a few weeks ago in Phil. 3:10 (YNG) , “being conformed to his death”

I read Phil. 2:8 today, “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

Romans 6:5-6, “For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.”

Romans 6:7 says, “For he that is dead is freed from sin.”

Since we are freed from the power of sin we are also freed from sin by grace and truth through His blood, Rom. 3:25, 5:9. If I am conformed to His death and partake in His death then I am dead to the judgment and penalty of the law once and for all! In Christ, not even death has authority over me anymore, Rom. 5:12. He tasted death for all of us, Heb. 2:9.

Young’s Literal Translation says for Phil. 2:8, “and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of a cross,”

We don’t work to be dead. In Him, I can’t ‘try’ to be more dead. We ARE in Him. We BE. We partake of this “obedience unto death” by faith and revelation of Him in us!, Rom. 1:5, 2 Pet. 3:18.
