#14: Romans 6


Romans 6:1-4

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

We become dead to sin by repenting of sin, not by redefining it. There is no place for sin, for the way of the former life, for the way of the world in the Christians life.

We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
