Sin s Power is Broken Romans 6:1-19 NLT Well then , should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? ?Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives . We are no longer slaves to sin . For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you God through Christ Jesus. Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin, Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer you master, for you no longer live under the requirements of law. Instead, you live under the freedom of Gods grace. Well then ,since Gods grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Dont you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Thank God! Once you were slaves od sin, but now wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. Because of weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this . Previously, let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.
