Our old life died with Christ on the cross so that our sinful selves would have no power over us. Romans 6:6
Think of it this way. Sin put you in prison. Sin locked you behind the bars of guilt and shame and deception and fear. Sin did nothing but shackle you to the wall of misery. Then Jesus came and paid your bail. He served your time; he satisfied the penalty and set you free. Christ died, and when you cast your lot with him, your old self died too.
When Jesus died, you died to sin’s claim on your life. You are free!
