Romans 6

The Bible….
1.What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

In plain english….
So, will we keep on breaking Gods Laws because of Gods abundant grace??
Why absolutley NOT! How can we that have been born again into NEW life continue to live in our old life??
Have you forgotten that we all were baptized, and by doing so were putting off that old life of sin?
And that after that bastism and death of our old life we are to be raised up by the power of the Father to walk a new life?

The Bible….
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.

In plain english….
If your old life is truly dead, and you have been ressurected into a new life, your sinfull life is destroyed so that after you NEED NOT continue to break Gods laws.

The Bible….
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

In plain english…..
You should die but once to your old life of lawlessness…then live for Christ because sin and death have no power over you if you serve God
Be dead to your old life of sin, be alive to serve God through the power of Jesus Christ

The Bible….
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

In english….
Don’t let law breaking (sin) be in charge of your body and actions OR you will keep sinning.
Don’t give over your actions to lawlessness BUT instead YEILD your WILL to God as one who has been resurrected from that old life of sin, and your actions will be in keeping with Gods laws and word.



The Bible…
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

In english…..
Lawless behaviour shall NOT have power over you because we are under Gods abundant grace
So then, will we continue breaking Gods laws because of that grace??? Absolutely NOT!

The Bible…..
16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

In english….
Whomever/whatever you obey is your master…whether that be lawbreaking and sin, which leads to death, OR obedience (law keeping) which leads to life.
Thank God we USED to be servants of lawlessness and sin BUT have obeyed Gods explicit words/doctrine by doing so are made FREE from sinning continuously and now serve God and keep His laws.


The Bible…..
19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

In english…..
You used allow sinfull living and lawlessness to reign, therby comitting the same sins over and over, BUT NOW you allow God/righteousness to reign leading to keeping Gods principles…HOLINESS.
When you were servants of self/sin, you had NO righteousness, you couldn’t do right, and of those things youused to do you are now ashamed because they only lead to eternal death.
But NOW since you are free from lawbreaking and sin and serve God, your actions are righteous and holy and lead to eternal life.
The end result of SINNING is DEATH
The gift of God is righteous LIVING through the power of Jesus Christ.
