Billy Myron continues the series on Positional Truth, focusing this session on Life and Death Part Two, emphasizing identification with Christ’s resurrection life after co-death with Him. He explains that believers are not only co-died with Christ but also co-raised and co-seated with Him in the heavenlies.
He reviews Ephesians 2, highlighting spiritual death in trespasses and sins, walking according to the world system and the prince of the power of the air, being children of wrath by nature. God, rich in mercy, made believers alive together with Christ by grace through faith, co-raising and co-seating them in Christ Jesus, not based on works but as God’s workmanship created for good works prepared beforehand.
In Colossians 2, he stresses being complete in Christ, co-buried and co-raised with Him through faith in God’s operation, having all trespasses forgiven and the handwriting of ordinances nailed to the cross. The passage repeatedly uses “in Him” language to show believers’ new position and completeness.
Colossians 3 instructs believers, since they are risen with Christ, to set their minds on things above where Christ is seated, not on earthly things, because their life is hidden with Christ in God, and they will appear with Him in glory.
Paul’s desire in Philippians 3 is to know Christ and the power of His resurrection, being conformed to His death. Ephesians 1 describes the exceeding greatness of God’s power toward believers—the same power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him far above all rule and authority.
In Romans 6, believers are dead to sin and should not live in it; they were baptized into Christ’s death, buried with Him, and should walk in newness of life, planted in the likeness of His death and resurrection. The old man was co-crucified so the body of sin might be destroyed, freeing believers from serving sin. Paul urges reckoning oneself dead to sin but alive to God in Christ, not letting sin reign, and yielding members as instruments of righteousness to God. Sin will not dominate because believers are under grace, not law.
Victory over the sin nature comes by reckoning positional truth and yielding to God, not by self-effort or law-keeping. The resurrection life enables a new quality of walk, empowered by God, not personal ability.
Billy addresses spiritual enemies: the sin nature (flesh) is defeated positionally by reckoning death to it and life to God (Romans 6). The world system is addressed by being crucified to the world (Galatians 6:14) and dead with Christ from its rudiments (Colossians 2), avoiding subjection to ordinances. Satan requires active resistance and standing in the Lord’s strength with the full armor of God (Ephesians 6), empowered by God, not self.
Positional truth—being seen in Christ—provides certainty, access to God, victory over enemies, and the ability to enjoy present-tense salvation benefits when the mind is set on this reality rather than the old carnal thinking.
