Winning the Battle Against Sin, Part 1 (Romans 7:1-6)
I have wanted to do a series on Romans chapter 8 for a while. This is one of the greatest chapters in all of Holy Scripture, and we’re going to begin that next Sunday. But as a preparation for that, we need to know a little bit about the chapters that come before. So that is why I read chapter 7, and I will now read a portion from even chapter 6. So open your Bible to Romans chapter 6. This is going to be a very important series for all of us as we understand the believer’s battle with sin better so that we can be victorious through our Lord.
I want to have you look at the opening of chapter 6 and I want to read the first seven verses. “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.”
