Throne Life Reality Day 4 - Is die to self biblical?

The ‘die-to-self’ theology possibly built around Paul’s statement of “I die daily” in 1 Corinthians 15:31 (NASB), is contextually wrong because Paul made that statement when defending his apostleship - on how he puts his life in danger daily in preaching the gospel.
Paul is not referring to dying to sin daily. Why? Because our death to sin took place on the cross. We died once and for all to the nature of sin. Believers don’t have to keep dying to self daily because at salvation, we died to our old life and are birthed into a new life
Romans 6:6 KJV says Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
READ: Rom 6:6-11, 1 Cor 15:31, Rom 6:6-11, Gal 2:20
ACTION: Whenever you feel tempted to “crucify yourself” in order to live right, remind yourself that you were already dead to sin, the same way Christ was dead to sin and that you are also alive to God now, the same way Christ is alive at the right hand of God. Reckon this truth to be real in your life
