Click here for Romans 6:1-14 audio:
Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.
Some people accused Paul of preaching a gospel that encouraged sin, since he had just said that “where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Rom. 5:20). But Paul answers with a firm “By no means!” (v. 2). Grace is not a license to sin—it’s the power to live free from sin. Through faith in Jesus, we are united with Him in His death and resurrection. Our “old self” was crucified with Him so that we are no longer enslaved to sin (v. 6). Now, having died with Christ, we also live with Him—alive to God (v. 11).
So Paul calls us to live out what’s already true: sin is no longer our master, because we are not under the law but under grace (v. 14). This grace doesn’t excuse sin; it empowers us to walk in the newness of life.
🎯 Theme: When we are united with Christ, we are no longer ruled by sin but made alive to God through His grace.
🌀 Reflection: God didn’t save us to leave us in our old patterns of sin. In Christ, we are free to live a new life that reflects His righteousness.
💬 Mission Challenge: Identify one area where sin has tried to regain control in your life. Surrender it to God today and walk in the freedom Jesus has already secured for you.
