We are dead to all of these in Christ (Rom. 6; 7, Gal. 6); He not only having died for us, but we with Him. Sin, however, is still in us (1 John 1), but we are to reckon it dead as an, evil thing. The law has no longer any terrors for us, nor is it our rule of life, though we shall fulfill it if we walk in love. As to the world we have absolutely done with it as being of it. We are in it, but not of it. By the world is meant that of which Satan is the prince and god, not nature in any sense.
