Christ was born under the Law to redeem those who were under the Law when He died to the Law (Gal. 4:4-5.) We were joined to "him who is raised from the dead", which means that we can never die again, because Christ can never die again. In Christ, we died to the Law so we could be joined to Christ in grace. If you are in Christ, then you are in Righteousness, Grace, and in the Spirit. There is not to be any of this "dying to oneself" to "the sinful nature" or "crucifying of the flesh". In Christ, you are Righteous.
