COMPLETE CLOSURE

I declare that my old sinful nature which was enslaved to sin and corruption was crucified with Christ. It was buried with Christ, never again to wield control over my life. Through baptism, I testified to the eternal truth that my old life is gone and I am no longer a slave to sin. Amen!

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
