Topic: The 'Old Man' Is Dead

Mark 14:41: 'And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour comes; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.'

Mark 14:41

It is not our individual acts of sin that make us a sinner. It is our sinful nature that makes us commit individual acts of corruption. Adam's one sin produced a sinful nature in all men that caused each person to commit individual acts of corruption. Jesus not only dealt with the original sin that contaminated the human race, but He also dealt with each particular action of sin.

Anyone trying to obtain righteousness through their actions is missing the point. Believers are made righteous through faith in Christ, independent of their actions. It's the same way that everyone was made a sinner: through Adam's one sin, not through our individual sins.

Our old man (Rom. 6:6) or sinful nature died at salvation, but the tendency to sin remains in the thoughts and emotions that the old man left behind. The Christian no longer has a sinful nature that compels him to sin, but he must simply deal with renewing his mind.

Sin ruled like a king through condemnation to bring death upon everyone.

Condemnation is like the general of sin that enforces its power. Likewise, God's grace now rules like a king through righteousness to bring all who are in Christ into eternal life. Righteousness is the general of grace who defends us against all the devil's wiles.

Remove guilt or condemnation, and sin loses its strength to rule (1 Cor. 15:56). Remove the knowledge of righteousness by faith, and grace loses its power to release eternal life into our daily lives.
