Being a Christian is like living at a new address.
A Christian is someone who has moved from the house of sin and death into a new home with Christ.
When you live with Christ, you want to show Him your love by doing good works and resisting sin.
You will sin again, but you will never again live with sin, because you have a new address; you are living with Jesus.
This new relationship to sin is made possible by Christ’s victory over death.
His died in your place so that you don’t have to die.
He was raised from the dead so you could be justified before God.
You not only have a new home, but you also have a new righteousness.
Your old righteousness was like “filthy rags,” but now you have been given the righteousness of Christ.
