11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. - Romans 6:11-12.
There is the word 'reckon' in text. It is a word that is attached to a life that has yet to be achieved in fullness. At least for myself, it has death and life attached to it. How pray tell do I live a death-life and a life-life at the same time if you will? The cross. Plain and simple written english in black and white, life comes out of death.
"lest a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die."
There is no life without death, if you try to live some kind of life say; a Christian life, or maybe even a better life than you had before, or good life, service life, world life, whatever life you are trying to live, if it is not a death life unto life, it is not Christ life. Christ life only comes by death. That's why Paul said "do we crucify Christ again," of coarse the answer is no. There is already a death and the believer can only reckon that death, know it, understand it.
That is a soul-mind issue, because to our father you are dead as Christ on the cross. It is the mind that tries to live some kind of life apart from the only life it has (the reason for 'the gospel' is knowledge and mind renewal so that does not happen).
Watch this; your Christian Life, your good life, your service life, husband life, wife life, parent life, child life, ministry life, job life, and all your life in this world comes from the only life you have which is what, you guessed it Christ in you the hope of glory!
It you are a shouting person that should make you shout because it is the everything in scripture, in life, in the world, in the Christian Life that needs to happen in God's ultimate plan before the foundation of the world.
It has already happened and you will spend a lifetime getting the facts of what has happened in God's plan. It takes a lifetime for the mind to catch up with the facts of scripture. The facts are written and my take on facts is going to mean something, what does that exactly mean? It will give meaning to the fact believers stay put in training for knowledge until your father moves you on. How exactly does your father do that? By revelation, he reveals to you his plan (the glory of God) and it takes you on. It may be to another level (my word) or growth but it moves you on.
While I'm over here politicing and playing all my worldly games to secure myself (the false message of Christian's are to rule the world) and my father is trying to get me to see I have no self on my own. Your father can use everything about you if it is necessary, but we all have things that are not necessary for me to grow and understand, usally it works the opposite to keep me down. So the little words Paul uses (reckon) can go along way for a believers knowledge of truth! Bless you.
