North Side Sermons [greenwood, Sc]

Romans 6:1-7 is a beautiful passage that continues Paul's thought from Romans Chapter 5 of "...where sin increased, grace abounded all the more..." In Romans 6:1-7, Paul reminds us as believers that if we have indeed been born again, we are dead to sin and walk in newness of life! He explains this truth using the ordinance of baptism. The imagery of being "crucified" with Christ and "risen" to walk in newness of life is shown in baptism is one all believers can understand. Paul concludes this passage with the great news that he proclaimed in the beginning: if we are believers, we are united with Christ, dead to sin and no longer a slave to sin!
