The document summarizes key passages from Romans 6 about dying to sin and being united with Christ. It discusses how baptism serves as the boundary between the old life of sin and the new life in Christ, where through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection believers receive eternal life and power over sin. It notes that while the penalty of sin has been paid and its power broken, believers must still choose to walk in the new life and offer themselves to God and righteousness rather than to sin.

1. Romans 6:1-3
What shall we say then? Shall we go on
sinning so that grace may increase? By no
means! We died to sin; how can we live in
it any longer? Or don’t you now that all of
us who were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into His death?

2. Romans 6:4-5
We were therefore buried with Him
through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead
through the glory of the Father, we too may
live a new life. If we have been united with
Him like this in His death, we will certainly
also be united with Him in His resurrection.

3. Romans 6:6-8
For we know that our old self was crucified
with Him so that the body of sin might be
done away with, that we should no longer
be slaves to sin—because anyone who has
died has been freed from sin. Now if we
died with Christ, we believe that we will
also live with Him.

4. Romans 6:9-12
For we know that since Christ was raised
from the dead, He cannot die again; death
no longer has mastery over Him. The death
He died, He died to sin once for all; but the
life He lives, He lives to God. In the same
way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive
to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let
sin reign in your mortal body so that you
obey its evil desires.

5. Romans 6:13-14
Do not offer the parts of your body to sin,
as instruments of wickedness, but rather
offer yourselves to God, as those who have
been brought from death to life; and offer
the parts of your body to Him as
instruments of righteousness. For sin shall
not be your master, because you are not
under law, but under grace.

6. Many treat BAPTISM
as though it is a FINAL
step, not the FIRST…
Baptism serves as the BOUNDARY line
between the OLD life and the NEW life.
Through Jesus’s death and resurrection we
not only receive ETERNAL life through faith,
but all we need to live LIFE by faith.

7. We must first DIE to SIN
“Died to sin” first pertains to
the reality that the PENALTY
has been PAID
Through Jesus’s death and resurrection the
penalty has not only been paid, but the
POWER of sin broken.
God’s purpose was not only to SAVE you but
to CHANGE you.

8. The same grace that
SAVES us SUSTAINS
and SHAPES us as well.
We must choose to WALK in what we have
received.
“Died to sin” means the PENALTY is paid, the
POWER broken, but not the IMPOSSIBILTY
of sin.
The reality of what Jesus has done for us
does not ELMINATE our need to RESPOND

( ) Do the home life help (in bulletin)
( ) Reflect on the meaning of baptism
( ) Evaluate if I have counted myself “dead to
sin”

me

God and righteousness.
