Paul wrote in II Corinthians 4:10-12, “Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” Those who live in Christ Jesus will always be “delivered unto death for Christ’s sake.”  The sentence of death is always in those who live in Christ by faith, who walk after Him, who follow His ways, who serve Him in Spirit and in truth.  In other words, all who unconditionally surrender their lives to God will one day come to the same reality that Paul experienced, and even what Jesus Christ the Son of God experienced – death working in you that the life of the Spirit of God might be manifested in your body.
