Dead [Romans 6 ]

What happens when one comes to Christ,well when Paul became a Christian he stopped persecuting Christians, but it did not stop there.He jettisoned the old and followed the new,in fact things that he once gloried in,his birth,he was a Jew,he threw out ,also his religious standing,declaring that they were now of no value.All he once counted dear,he now counts as dung,yes when it comes to following Christ, we have to cast of the old,and embrace the new,in fact we have to die to self,we signified this when we were baptised ,as we go under the water , we are dying to the old self.Then as we come out of the water ,we are rising up to walk in newness of life[Romans6 v 1ff ] A lady shared, with a few of us Christians,that when she trusted Jesus, she was faced with a dilemma,for she was living with her boy friend,so she went to him and told him that she could not continue to live together,the result was she married her boyfriend.Yes becoming a Christian challenged her ,to forsake  the way she was living,as the apostle declared, how shall we,that are dead to sin,live any longer therein ?[ Romans 6 v2]
                                                 A prayer.
Dear God  help us by your grace to cast of the old,and to walk in newness of
life in Jesus name we ask this Amen.
