In worship and prayer, how do we go to God? Groveling, wormy, filled with anxiety and fear? As abject sinners? As those who are dead?
That is not how Paul tells us to go. We are to present ourselves not as those who are dead, but as “those alive from the dead” (Romans 6:13).
When we present ourselves to God as corpses, we deny our baptisms, deny that we share in the resurrection of Jesus. We deny the gospel.
