What does it mean when the Scripture says, we are to be conformed to the death of Christ?  It could be assumed it speaks of our being crucified or sharing in a martyr’s death for being a Christian.  In today’s sermon we will answer three questions.  First, we will answer the question, what does it mean to be conformed to Christ’s death.  We will define and illustrate the words conform and fashion.  Next, we will answer the question, what does it mean, He died to sin for all?  We will read and examine the text from Romans 6:8-11.  Finally we will finish with the question, what does it mean to consider that the members of your earthly body are dead to sin.  To do this we will refer to the word’s of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the church is Colossae in Colossians 3:1-11.
