Am I DEAD?

I have a friend who is Coroner of the county which we live in.  Part of his duties is to pronounce "death" on people who have lost their life.  Those bodies are soon buried.  

The Apostle Paul reminds us in the book of Romans that we too are buried SPIRITUALLY in CHRIST.   Why, because we are "DEAD" to sin.  No longer do we have to walk with the affects of sin in our life.     

Romans 6:4  (KJV)

"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

Romans 6:7  (KJV)

"For he that is dead is freed from sin."

My problem is I want to give CPR to the "old man" and try to keep him alive!   Lord, remind me that I am dead to sin and NOW live in YOU! 

Romans 6:12  (KJV"

"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

Romans 6:14  (KJV)

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

Romans 6:11  (KJV)

"Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord."
