       Since Christ was the perfect lamb, having never sinned against God in his earthly living, he was able to become the perfect offering to God for our sin. And not only this, but also he broke Satan’s power over us. As Peter said, we “were ransomed.” Jesus defeated Satan at the cross. Satan only has as much power over us as we chose to allow him to have. Since Jesus lives his life for God, that is what we, as believers, are supposed to model in our own lives. Paul said he need to “consider” ourselves dead to sin. The reality that we are dead to sin is just fact, we are dead to sin. The issue for us, though, is that we often don’t believe that. We often don’t feel like we are dead to sin. We notice that we still struggle with sin. There are areas that we have weaknesses in. Nevertheless, Paul says here to consider ourselves dead to it.
