Can Christians keep sinning because grace covers everything? Romans 6 confronts this head-on — and the answer will change how you understand salvation.
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study, we pick up at Romans 5:20-21 where Paul declares that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. But Paul immediately anticipates the dangerous misunderstanding: does that mean we're free to let the old sin nature run wild? Absolutely not. Paul's answer — "God forbid" — launches one of the most important passages in all of Scripture on the believer's identity in Christ.
📖 Key Topics Covered:
• Romans 5:20-21 — Why the Law made sin "abound" and what that really means
• The "old Adam" vs. the new nature — how to read Romans 6 clearly
• Romans 6:1-2 — "Shall we continue in sin?" and Paul's thundering answer
• Romans 3:7-8 — Grace is NOT license; Paul was falsely accused of the same thing
• Romans 6:3 — "Baptized into Christ" — why this cannot mean water baptism
• 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 — The Holy Spirit baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ
• Galatians 2:20 — "I am crucified with Christ" and what it means to reckon old Adam dead
• Colossians 3:3 — Your life is hid with Christ in God — the security of the believer
• Colossians 1:12-13 — Translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son
