“Union with Christ, because it puts us in a new relationship to sin and brings us into the sphere of the Spirit’s power, will impact the way we live. Ultimately, then, the imperative ‘put to death’ in this verse must be viewed as a call to respond to, and cooperate with, the transformative power that is already operative within us.

And even in the days when I was youngThere seemed to be a song beyond the silenceThe feeling in my bones was much too strongTo just deny it. I can't deny thisI've been seized by the power of a great affectionSeized by the power of a great affectionNow this is the theme of my songNow I must forgive as I am forgivenAnd even when the shadows are longI will sing about the Son that's risenThat His kingdom has no endAnd His kingdom has no end-Andrew Peterson, The Power of a Great Affection
