Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old humanity (decrepit, cane walking, toothless, nursing home humanity) was crucified together with Him, that the body of Sin may be nullified, for us by no means to be still slaving for Sin,
This decaying, ancient, cane walking, toothless, nursing home, humanity in Romans is also called the sinful nature.
Every person alive today has this crumbling and dilapidated humanity intact within them. When the sperm and the egg unite, they automatically form this 120 year old man deep inside the embryo.
Life then becomes no more than the continual effort by people to try to perfume, beautify, and exalt this centenarian guy in them.
This brand of humanity can also be called “the engine which creates and produces nonstop sin.” This is why the world is so messed up. It’s full of billions of people who can do nothing else but sin, because of the engine which they possess, and which drives and pushes them.
Our born again experience in Christ puts the person into the reality of becoming co crucified or co impaled with Christ.
The cross which the person becomes co crucified on, is the monkey wrench thrown into this engine which breaks it down, and causes it to immediately stop working.
At the moment that a person becomes born again, therefore, this decrepit sin producing motor suddenly suspends its operations, and the individual immediately become free from being coerced by it.
At the instant that this engine stops, a new one automatically becomes molded in him or her. This one is just the opposite of the one owned by decrepit old man. It is a brand spanking new motor outfitted to produce a type of life which is eternal in nature.
No other so called religion can do this for people.
This is truly what the forgiveness of sin means.
To have your sins forgiven, simply means that this once active sin producing device has been summarily destroyed and that a new one which can generate eternal life has been positioned in you. Now you are ready to live forever because of your eternal life generating appliance.
This apparatus can also be called Christ Jesus.
Has your old engine been destroyed? Or is it busily humming along?
You see, it’s not that God wants to throw anyone into hell; it’s simply that He doesn’t want anyone to mess up His perfect and sinless heaven with sin running motors in it. He wants sinless engines which are at work creating an eternal brand of life.
Have you purchased your monkey wrench today? You can find it in a store called “The Cross of Christ.” Don’t go home without it.
If you die today, unexpectedly, will you find yourself with a sin producing or an eternal life producing engine?
