to ADD CHRIST is to SUBTRACT SIN

It is a great misconception to think we can add the glorious weight of Christ to our lives and not subtract the heinous weight of sin from our lives. According to Romans 6:5-6, "for if we have been united together in the likeness of [Jesus'] death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be rendered inactive (paralyzed), that we should no longer be slaves to sin."
