a sanctified decision

Romans 5-8 is a powerful set of passages that will bless any believer.  Right in the middle of that is a discourse about holy living.  You can find it in Romans 6:1-11.  My focus today is on what I want to call a simple sanctified decision.  The last two verses call for a decision on the part of a believer.  This is where the Gospel becomes very practical.

10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

The sanctified decision ends with being alive to God in Christ Jesus!  Praise God!
