Romans 6

What Now

Romans 6:1–4 NKJV

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

We are baptized in Christ to WALK in Newness of Life.

Romans 6:6–7 NKJV

6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.

We are baptized in Christ to be set free from sin.

Romans 6:8 NKJV

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

We are baptized in Christ to live with Him.

Romans 6:9 NKJV

9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Romans 6:12–14 NKJV

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

We are baptized in Christ to be set free from the Law and placed under Grace.

Romans 6:22–23 NKJV

22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
