In Romans 6 : 2 it says -
God forbid how shall we , that
are dead to sin , live any longer in it .
what this scripture means is sin is not dead to you, therefore you have to be dead to it .
example if you walked into the grave yard and did something or said something out there .
you would not get a response from anyone in the graves because they are dead .
So in the very same way a born again believer is also dead to sin .
in other words the born again believer is dead to the condemnation , guilt , judgment exec of sin .
Jesus took care of all of this for the believer though his death as an offering for sin .
so if you sinned to day Jesus is not going to come down from heaven and die on the cross again for you .
( why ) because his dying for sins once was more then enough .
You must remember that the word sin is a noun , Paul never uses it as a verb in the book of Romans .
therefore you may think that to die means you never do wrong again or say something wrong again exec , but it dose not because we all have said or did something wrong even today you could have did or said something wrong .
-- Because Adam made everyone a sinner though what he did in the garden of Eden .
That's why sin is a noun a person ( Adam ) made everyone a sinner .
But Jesus broke sin's power over everyone that has made him their Lord .
So unless you allow yourself to die to sin , you will not get power over it .
God Bless
