Romans 6:10-11 NASB
For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. [11] Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:10-11 AMPC
For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. [11] Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:10-11 TPT
For by his sacrifice he died to sin’s power once and for all, but he now lives continuously for the Father’s pleasure. [11] So let it be the same way with you! Since you are now joined with him, you must continually view yourselves as dead and unresponsive to sin’s appeal while living daily for God’s pleasure in union with Jesus, the Anointed One.
I wanted you to see these three different translations of Romans 6:10-11 because I wanted you to glean some of the rich treasures of these remarkable verses. Even though every word in these two verses are remarkable and life-changing, I want us to focus on the last half of both verse 10 and verse 11. Referring to Christ in verse 10, it says, “but the life that He lives, he lives to God.” The word “lives” in verse 10 and verse 11 is in the present tense and therefore should be literally translated, “but the life that He is now continuously living, He is continuously living to God.” Now, look at the last half of verse 11, referencing those of us who have been crucified and raised up in union with Christ. “Even so, consider yourselves dead to sin, but now continuously living to God in Christ Jesus.” Jesus’s relationship to the Father is our relationship to the Father, and His relationship with God, the Holy Spirit, is our relationship with the Holy Spirit. According to Galatians 3:27 says, because we have been baptized into Christ, we have clothed ourselves with Him. The Greek word “clothed” comes from two words; “sink” and “in.” We who have been baptized into Christ have literally “sunk into” His life. As I have said before, the gospel is very clear; “It is our inclusion into the life that Jesus lives and the favor He lives under in His relationship with God.” Take that thought out for a spin and let your spiritual imagination run wild. The life that you live for God is actually lived by the life of God in Christ through you. For example, His holiness, wisdom, power, anointing, love, compassion, purity, strength, peace, etc., etc. is yours. Think about how this affects prayer: His prayer life is your prayer life for when you pray, the Father sees Christ , and He hears the voice of his Son as we pray in the name of Jesus. Think about how much this should impact your sense of God’s affection for you. Just these two verses alone would be enough to contemplate for the rest of our lives, and we would never exhaust the inexhaustible riches of Christ that are ours.
