Well yes it is a fact established in Christ. And yet it still has to be walked out by faith day by day.

23And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 9:23-24

It is on a daily basis because thats how life is lived. One day at a time.

Yes day by day we walk by faith but we don't die daily. We are renewed daily in the faith and the word that we are dead.

Lets try it this way. To die daily could be like this. You were planning a nice peaceful hike in the hill country for Saturday. Saturday morning a brother in Christ calls and says his car wont start and he cant miss another day of work or he will be fired.

Well your desire was to do the hiking but you love the Brother so you die to your plan........and go pick the Bro up, take him to work and tell him you will pick him up 8 hours later.

You died to self THAT DAY.

Tomorrow it may be something else. Life is lived one day at a time. You cant die out to self all at once because all trials dont come at once. They come daily for most of us. Therefore we cant die to self ahead of our trials and temptations.

HOWEVER when they do come we BY FAITH draw from the established fact that in Christ we are DEAD TO SELF. Our faith is in the established fact but faith makes it actually come true in our life.

Agree to disagree I guess.

Colossians 3:3 KJV

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
