Ten I am Statements 7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin.

Speaking strictly to Christians, Romans 6 does not say that I am to die to sin, nor does it say that sin is dead. But we must never fear losing our salvation; for those in Christ sin is against our very nature!

Common attitude of Christians: I can’t stop sinning or God’s grace is grater than my sin so I’ll keep on sinning. 1 What shall we say then?

Romans 6:14 provides us a summary and explanation of the commands expressed in verses 12 and 13, that sin shall not be master over we who died to sin, for we have been transferred to the reign of grace.

We who died to sin, are to consider that God has made us holy in our union with Christ Jesus. Through our union with Christ Jesus, God has given us the capability to not let sin reign in our mortal bodies for the first time in our existence!

Who we were and Who we are. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”…

Happy New year everyone! With a new year starting today what is usually on the minds of most people is a chance for new beginnings. “New beginnings don’t start with a turning of a calendar page.
