Romans 6:5 - 7 (NKJV)
For if we have been united together in the likeness of His 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 done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.

Ephesians 5:1 & 2 (NKJV)
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma.
God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
As He was about to give up His spirit to His Father, Jesus said these words, "It is finished!" (John 19:30).
Abba, Father You gave us Jesus and we became righteous in Your sight, created in Your image and in Your likeness, adopted as Your children, able to walk in Your power, may our lives be a sweet smelling aroma to You; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
