6:5 We were like seeds planted together in the same soil, to be raised up to life together. If we were included in His death we are equally included in His resurrection.

6:6 We perceive that our old identity was co-crucified together with Him, this concludes that the vehicle that accommodated sin in us, was scrapped and rendered entirely useless. Our slavery to sin has come to an end.

6:7 If nothing else stops you from doing something wrong, death certainly does.
6:8 Faith sees us joined in His death and alive with Him in His resurrection.

6:9 It is plain for all to see that death lost its dominion over Christ in His resurrection, he need not ever die again to prove a further point.

6:10 His appointment with death was a once-off. As far as sin is concerned, He is dead. This is the final testimony of the fact that sin’s power over man is destroyed. Now it is all life as far as God is concerned. His life reveals an uninterrupted union with the life of God.

6:11 This reasoning is equally relevant to you. Make the calculation, you died and are now alive unto God. You are absent to sin and present with God in Christ Jesus who is our Master.
