What are some things that are free to do because you are a Christian?

What are some things you have the power to avoid because you are a Christian?

Study Text was Roman 6:-7:25 But we are going to focus on

Lets break it up a little:

Someone read Romans 6:1-3

Romans 6:1–3 ESV

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

Romans 6:1-

Now Someone Read Rom 6:5-7

Romans 6:5–7 ESV

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin.

SO looking at verse 1-2:

Paul had just described how GRACE is available in Christ.

Obvious question then was raised?

Romans 6:1 ESV

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?

Roman 6:1

Answer of course is no.

But look at the reason...

How can we who died to sin still live in it?

We are going to be talking about what it really means to Die to sin.

With this in mind let me read the next two verses.

Romans 6:3–4 ESV

3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:3 ESV

3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

How does the act of baptism demonstrate what has happened in a believer’s life?

What does it mean to “be baptized in Christ’s death?”

The old me is dead.

I need to think and act differently.

(You can judge a tree by it’s fruits)

Read verse 4 again. What was the purpose of us being baptized into Christ’s death.

Raised again (also by God Glory)

To walk in the NEWNESS of LIFE

Some one read verses 5-6

Romans 6:5–6 ESV

Affirms what we have said.

Romans 6:7 ESV

7 For one who has died has been set free from sin.

What does this tell us about our relationship to sin. (to our old self)

Out this into real life...

What does this look like?

How do we rally use this in real life?

Read

Romans

Romans 6:8–14 ESV

8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Verse 7-8 turns the topic from death to life.

Our freedom was not the end of the story.

We have have a purpose. Our work isn’t done.

But it also speak of a finality

Concerning Christ (9-10)

Expound on that...

Concerning Us (11-12)

How do we apply this?

Romans 6:13 ESV

13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.

Tell me more specifically what this is telling you to do (or not do)

You don’t just resist sin

You don’t even present yourself to it.
