Romans 6 Summary

Dead to Sin Alive to God

Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means. We were buried with Christ in baptism and raised to walk in newness of life. Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God. Do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.
