Romans 6:9

‘Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more, death no more has dominion over him.'

And what is more, we can live in this way knowing that death has been defeated. Knowing that Christ has been raised from the dead, we know that He will die no more. Death has been vanquished. We recognise that death no longer has dominion over Him because He is the victor over death. Consequently, having been raised with Him we recognise that for us also sin and death have been defeated once and for all. For once we have died in Christ, death has lost its sting for us too (1 Corinthians 15:55). The price of sin has been paid (1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Peter 1:18). We are freed from the chains of sin and the fear of death (Hebrews 2:15) in order to serve Christ.
