This shows again that a life lived truly under grace will be a righteous life. Grace is never a license to sin. “To treat being under grace as an excuse for sinning is a sign that one is not really under grace at all.”
It occurred to me that some people may hesitate to give their lives to Jesus because they don’t want to “lose control” of how they live, when in reality, they are already “out of control” as slaves to sin.
I totally agree. And I honestly think that even those of us who are Saved still have those same thoughts in certain situations of our lives if we truly examine ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to help us see those areas. WOW!
What a powerful chapter to look within myself and truly see how far I have come and how far I can go to be faithful to my Heavenly Father. I am in awe of my heart right now.
. We who died to sin: At this point, Paul has much to explain about what exactly he means by died to sin, but the general point is clear - Christians have died to sin, and they should no longer live in it. Before, we were dead in sin (Ephesians 2:1); now we are dead to sin.
Beautiful wow I just love how you pray n teach verse by verse n chapter by chapter thank you once again when I read this tears came to my eyes on how Great God is sending his son Jesus to die on the cross foe our sins. Wow keep pressing forward people try very hard not to turn back to ur old sinful ways n keep in the word n praying n thanking God every day ❤ God bless u.
Law clearly defined God’s standard, and shows us where we fall short of it. But it cannot give the freedom from sin that grace provides. Remember that grace reigns through righteousness (Romans 5:21). Grace, not law provides the freedom and the power to live over sin.
i. This close union is both in His death and in His resurrection. God has both experiences for us. Paul expressed a similar idea for his own life in Philippians 3:10-11: that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Some are all too ready to be united together in the glory of resurrection, but are unwilling to be united together in His death.
GoodMorning I love to Watch the StreetPreaching Videos where they go out in the Streets & Preach to the People & tell them about Jesus & how to be Saved. That is like Paul did too.
Totally... AND, maybe that's a boost of boldness and encouragement and a challenge for you to step into that in your own community too, even just one. You had to know that would be part of my reply lol😉
We were buried with Him… as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life: Paul also builds on the idea of going under the water as a picture of being buried and coming up from the water as a picture of rising from the dead. i. Of course, baptism also has the association of cleansing, but that isn’t particularly relevant to Paul’s point here. ii. In this regard, baptism is important as an illustration of spiritual reality, but it does not make that reality come to pass. If someone has not spiritually died and risen with Jesus, all the baptisms in the world will not accomplish it for them. iii. But Paul’s point is clear: something dramatic and life changing happened in the life of the believer. You can’t die and rise again without it changing your life. The believer has a real (although spiritual) death and resurrection with Jesus Christ.
Set free from sin: This means that we never have to sin again. Though sin is inevitable until our flesh is resurrected in glory, it isn’t because God has designed a system by which we must sin.
How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Paul establishes an important principle. When we are born again, when we have believed on Jesus for our salvation, our relationship with sin is permanently changed. We have died to sin. Therefore, if we have died to sin, then we should not live any longer in it. It simply isn’t fitting to live any longer in something you have died to.
Praise the Lord Sister, thank you for this.
You're so very welcome.
Thank You Lord Jesus for the gift of eternal Life 🎉😂😂❤

Your own awe has me in awe. What a powerful recognition in your own life for your own heart. PRAISE GOD! 🙌🏼
We cannot overcome sin on our own , but with Jesus Christ we can have victory over sin. Thanks be to God ! 🕊️
Amen! Thank You God! 🙌🏼
