3. You were not given a license to sin, but you were liberated from sin.

4. You were saved in order that you could have a life that would fit your conversion.

6. Why is it impossible to continue in the SIN? Because we have DIED to it. The KJV says “Dead to Sin,” but it is “died to sin.” It’s not talking about a state, but a past act. It is not saying you are presently dead to sin, he is saying you have died. If you died to it how you can remain in it.

7. Vine points out, the pronoun WE, and really the whole clause, which gives a description characteristic of believers, at the Cross a death took place and the SIN was liberated. We have been given a NEW NATURE.

9. Stresses the ending of what is "former" – to bring what (naturally) follows.

10. The point is we have already DIED TO SIN. You can’t say “Well, I am dying to sin.” Because that has already happened when Christ’s died. A Christian is someone who has died to sin.

11. Christ died in our place Romans 5:6-8. And therefore the wrath of God is lifted.

12. Death to sin is separation from the ruling power of sin in one’s own life as in Romans 6:14

15. CAN I SAY THIS: The purpose of your salvation is not for the purpose of you failing; but salvation will produce in you a sanctifying result.In Romans 6:2,7 and 11, it stated that believers have died to sin: ‘we who died to sin” vs 2; “he who has died is freed from sin” vs 7 and “you must consider yourselves dead to sin” v. 11. These expressions mean that believers, through their identification with Christ, are dead to the GUILT of sin.. <br />They are viewed by God as if they themselves died in the death of Christ and suffered the full penalty of sin’s guilt. Sin can no longer make any legal claim on them; thus, they are dead to it----free from its condemnation. <br />What does PAUL mean by death to sin: Romans 6:3 next time<br />
