The reckoning is the accounting part of it. It’s the mind renewal part of it. It’s the bringing to light the truth of knowing to make the right decision. It’s the constant feeding on the truth that links together, the not sinning and the knowing that your old man is dead, buried, and no longer exists. Also, that you are now a new creature in Christ who never before existed. That it is the very life of Christ in you that makes you this new creature who ever liveth to please God.
You will be able to say within your heart, I know I am not this ungodly kind of person anymore for he’s dead and buried. I don’t have to do these things to be satisfied and content in my life for I’m a new creature and alive in Christ, and his very presence satisfies my needs.
