Romans and the positional truths

OK, I realize I JUST posted about an hour ago, but I'm just starting and I can't hardly help myself...One of my absolute favorite past times is Studying the Word and one of my favorite places to park is Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome. If you only had one book of the Bible available to you, this would be the one to have. Early in my Walk I was challenged to memorize large portions of Scripture and learn to meditate on those passages. My first step was to memorize Romans chapters 6 and 8 in their entirety. Yeah, I was younger then and memorization came easier than today. If you care to follow me for awhile we can take a great adventure into these 2 magnificant passages. Let's start in Chapter 6:1-4
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him, by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life"
You see Paul has been explaining in previous passages that we are saved by GRACE, not by works. And now he must keep this great truth from becoming a license to sin. AND here is the point; You (the old you) is DEAD and you have a NEW life through Christ, which makes it possible for you to live in victory over sin. There are not 2 people in you, not 2 dogs inside (black and white). The old Barry is NO MORE! He is dead. Now sin still dwells in my inmost being, but it dwells there as a foreign object, much like a splinter in my finger. What a glorious truth this is! I have been baptized into Christ and raised to new life.
Today I WILL WALK IN VICTORY BECAUSE OF WHO I AM AND WHO'S I AM.
