Romans Six

Romans 6

1 - 14 Dying and Rising with Christ

We should not continue to sin so that grace will abound. 11. "So you must also consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus." In 13, Paul describes the moral life as a military or athletic struggle (my notes): "No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as instruments of righteouslness."

15 - 23 Slaves of Righteousness

We are slaves to sin, but we must must become enslaved to God for our sanctification and eternal life. 23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
