6 This Meeting Key Thoughts : Scripture: Romans 6:1-23
Our freedom from sin: Know the facts Reckon the facts Yield to righteousness (not to sin!) Grow in sanctification Encountering the Book of Romans Chapter 10: “Freedom from the Power of Sin” Pages January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

7 Romans 6:1-23 (ESV) 1  What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

8 Romans 6:1-23 (ESV) 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

9 Romans 6:1-23 (ESV) 15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

10 Romans 6:1-23 (ESV) 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

11 Outline Know the Facts (vv. 1-9) Reckon the Facts (vv. 10-11)
Yield to Righteousness (vv ) Grow in Sanctification (vv ) January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

12 Know the Facts Observation: Paul is reminding his readers about what their baptism symbolizes. 3 Do you not know … 5 For if (since) we have been united… 6 We know that our old self was crucified... 8 Now if (since) we have died with Christ.... 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again.... Interpretation: Paul describes the Christian’s death to sin using baptism. First, baptism is an identification with Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. The believer says to the world, “I am with Him, I am His.” Second, baptism is a proclamation that we have died to sin. Our sin and its consequence were borne by Jesus, and our sins are what put Him to death. Realizing the hideous nature of sin, the believer has an aversion to sin. Third, baptism tells the world that just as God raised Jesus from death – never to die again – so we are being raised from the waters of baptism “to walk in newness of life.” (Shepherd’s Notes on Romans, 1998) January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

13 Reckon the Facts Observation: Count yourselves dead to sin and alive to Christ 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Interpretation: The English word “consider” is from the Greek word logizomai (λογίζομαι), meaning: Reckon, count, charge with; reason, decide, conclude; think, suppose The root of the English terms “logic, logical” January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

14 Yield to Righteousness (NOT to Sin!)
Observation: Leave the old self behind, and follow your Lord Jesus Christ 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13  Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness Interpretation 1: Paul contrasts the old with the new, the worst with the best, the death and the life Interpretation 2: This is a consistent theme and need in churches then and now: Places: Rome, Colossae, Galatia, Corinth, Ephesus Teachers: Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, (David) January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

15 Interpretation 3: Stop sinning – start living for Christ
Church Communities Rome Corinth Ephesus Colossae Galatia Interpretation 3: Stop sinning – start living for Christ January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

16 Grow in Sanctification
Observation: Sanctification is our cooperative growth in the Spirit, producing holiness 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Interpretation: Justification is for us; sanctification is in us. Justification declares the sinner righteous; sanctification makes the sinner righteous. Justification removes the guilt and penalty of sin; sanctification removes the growth and power of sin. (J. Vernon McGee, Reasoning through Romans, 1981; in Constable) January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

17 Hebrews 10:11-16 (ESV) 11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them     after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts,     and write them on their minds,” teleioó to bring to an end, to complete, perfect to consummate, reaching the end-stage, i.e. working through stages to reach the final phase (conclusion). hagiazó: to make holy, consecrate, sanctify to regard as special (sacred), i.e. holy ("set apart") Thanks Kirk!

20 Some Verses to Consider
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9) January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23

21 Discussion & Application
Where are we individually in our Christian lives? Are we on the upward slope? Do we, like Jonah, purposefully run away from God? What does God tell us to do? What resources do we have for living sanctified lives? Prayer – Reflection – Confession – Thanksgiving Application Questions: What does Paul mean when he says that believers have died to sin, and what are the practical ramifications? What does it mean to be baptized into Christ? What is the point of Paul’s ethical commands in Romans 6:11-13? Contrast the life of a person who is a slave to sin and a person who is a slave to righteousness. What are the major differences? What does Paul’s teaching in Romans 6:15-23 suggest about the way we often use the language of freedom in the modern world? January 16, 2018 Romans 6:1-23
