As to the flesh, I am entitled by grace to say that I have died already, and I am called on to reckon myself henceforth and always dead. Mysticism is an effort to become dead in oneself, and sounds well, but grace gives me the title of Christ to believe in the power of His death for me and of my death in Him, so that I may, without presumption, reckon myself dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
