Romans 6:8-11
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Having died to our self in Christ we find life for now and eternity. Because of His resurrection, we also live again as reborn spiritually, and in His presence forever with a new raised body that never dies after we die from this earth. Death is no longer our master; we do not fear it nor the consequences before God afterwords. Jesus Christ died so we would not die in our sin, but live toward God with absolute assurance of justified forgiveness. So we count ourselves completely dead to sin and absolutely alive in Him. This is the hope of the gospel that never fails, based on Christ’s effective work in our calling.
