United with Jesus in His Death and Life | Romans 6:1-11
How are we to live in light of Jesus' death and resurrection? Earlier in ch. 5:20, Paul had said, "where sin increased, grace abounded all the more." Paul knew that when we hear about the lavish grace of God, it is tempting to think we can continue in sin. It is very easy to think that God's grace is a license to sin. But Paul is going to show how God's grace brings an end to our old selves and raises us to the newness of life. So, in our passage, we'll see that: a) We have been baptized into Christ' death. b) We have been set free from sin's slavery. c) We are now dead to sin and alive to God.
