Romans 6:10-11 (NKJV) 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus died once, for all. What does it mean when it says “for all”? For each one of us. He died for you and for me.
The death that He died paid the price for our sins. He didn’t need to die a thousand deaths. He didn’t need to die a million deaths. He died once, for all.
That death was sufficient. There was nothing else needed. He paid the ultimate price, as a gift to mankind.
The rest is up to us. It’s up to us to reach out and take that gift. And it’s up to us to let God show us how to leave our old, sinful self buried with Christ and to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, alive in Christ.
No, we can’t live our lives perfectly, as Jesus did. But we can let God teach us how to put Him first and let Him order our steps.
And as we take each step with Him, we will draw closer and closer to Him each day.
