Opening Prayer
Text Reading:
Verse 1: Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
Because grace has been proven by Paul in the previous chapter....
To be much more greater than sin,..
Are we to sin more and therefore get even more grace?
Are we to take advantage of God?
Are we to play games with God?
If by the preaching of a justification based solely on the free grace of God...
Are we encouraging people to sin?
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
Verse 2: May it never be!
A thousand times no!!!
Never, Never, Never!!
Absolutely not!!
Paul uses this expression 14 times in his letters (10 in Romans alone)
This expression is the strongest Greek idiom for repudiating a statement...
It contains a sense of outrage...
That anyone would ever even think that the statement was possible to be true
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
Verse 2: How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
What Paul describes is impossible
How can we die to sin...
Yet want to live in it?
If you still live in sin...
If you are pleased be sin...
And desire to live a life of sin...
Ask yourself…
Are you really Born Again?
Is Jesus the Lord of your life?
Because it is impossible to live in sin if you really died to it
Verse 3: All of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
This baptism is of the Spirit...
This is baptism from above...
This is being Born Again
All Christians have,...
by placing saving faith in Him,...
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
been spiritually immersed into the person of Christ,...
that is, united and identified with Him
However,...
Before we can be Born Again...
We must first die to ourselves
As Christ dies on the cross we must die too
Verse 4: Buried with Him through baptism into death
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Ro 6:4.
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
To die to self is to die to sin
Our old self,...
The depraved sinner that does not seek God...
The depraved sinner that committed high treason against God...
Must die...
Never to return
Verse 4: Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life
As Christ was risen from the dead,...
So we too are made to come alive again after dying to ourselves
We become a new creation,...
No longer totally depraved
We can now seek God
We become Born Again
There is a new quality and character to our lives...
A new principle of life
This speaks of the believer’s regeneration
Another way to look at it...
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
Whereas sin describes the old life...
Now righteousness describes the new life
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .

Verse 5: United with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
If we are a genuine follower of Christ
If we are truly in Him
Then, just as we are united in His death...
We are united in His resurrection
Verse 6: Old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with
New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), .
When I read this I reflect back at my old self...
32 years I was a dead man walking...
When I look back at my past...
During those first 32 years of my life I see a different person...
A person who died...
And I say good riddance...
The Greek word for “old” does not refer to something old in years...
But to something that is worn out and useless
This is how we should view ourselves
John F. MacArthur Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible: New American Standard Bible.
(Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2006), .
Our old self needs to be crucified on that cross...
Why?
“In order that our body of sin might be done away with”
