1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died has been justified from sin. Romans 6:1-14 (LSB) Read verses 8-14 on the site.
The Doctrine of Regeneration tells Christians that the life they live now will not be as it once was, but will take on the characteristics of regeneration. The Christian is a new creation. The attributes of this pertain to spiritual quality rather than physical substance, however, the evidence of it will become manifest in how the Christian walks through each day and deals with the circumstances of life.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20 (LSB)
God’s ways are not man’s ways. His ways, while always right, will appear to the spiritually immature or the unregenerate as bizarre or wrong, or incomprehensible or out-of-step with the ways of the world. Christ’s victory at the Cross was won by laying His life down as an acceptable sacrifice for the sins of His elect. The natural man cannot comprehend this. I know of Christians who still believe that Christ’s crucifixion was a great tragedy. No, while horrible and unjust according to the person of Christ Himself, it was all according to God’s plan and accomplished exactly what the Father willed.
