ROMANS 6


Romans 6:1 NLT
Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?

QUESTION: IS SIN WORTH FIGHTING?

Romans 6:2-11 NLT
Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism…And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

Romans 4:3-5 ESV
…Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness…

Romans 6:12 NLT
Do not let sin control (“be king of”) the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.

TO LIVE AS IF SIN IS DEAD MEANS…

1) I’M A

NOT A .

Romans 6:13 NLT
Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument (“weapon”) to do what is right for the glory of God.

2) MY BODY IS A

NOT A .

Romans 6:14 NLT
Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.

3) I’M DRIVEN BY

NOT .
