Romans 6
This whole passage has a progression. We are given the example of Christ - His surrender & obedience unto death, then His resurrection to life. For us, this is the first step of salvation - recognizing our deadness and our need of a Savior, accepting His grace, accepting Him as our Savior.
The next step is to reckon ourselves dead to sin, alive to Christ. Next we recognize Who is Lord of our bodies and yield ourselves completely and totally to Him. This leads us to loving obedience, which leads us to righteousness. The fruit of this progression will be holiness, or a life set apart to God. And the end result will be everlasting life.
Salvation, reckon dead to sin, alive to Christ, recognize Who is Lord, yield to Him, obey, righteousness, holiness, eternal life. At what point am I on this journey to Heaven?
