June 19-Start Your Day Right DevotionSHALL WE GO ON SINNING?In Romans 6, Paul challenges the faulty notion that believers may continue to sin and yet remain secure and guilt-free in their salvation because of God's grace. People who held this misguided view felt that they were not obligated to God's moral law as long as they had faith and relied on God's grace. Paul stands strongly against this twisted view of God's grace by presenting one of the most basic of all spiritual truths about the lives of those who are justified through Christ: genuine believers are identified as being "in Christ" because they are "dead to sin but alive to God" (Romans 6:11). This means that they are free from sin's control and unresponsive to its influence because they are now willing servants "to obedience which leads to righteousness" (Romans 6:16). The reference to baptism refers to how in New Testament times the public act of baptism is water (Romans 6:4; acts 22:16) was so closely associated with a decision to follow Christ that they were almost considered one event. Although it is a person's faith in Christ, not baptism, which brings him or her into a relationship with Christ, the act of baptism outwardly shows the believer's decision to identify with Jesus in His death and resurrection (Romans 6:5). It is a sign that believer is dying to his or her old rebellious way - making a definite separation from sin - so he or she can live completely for God and obey Him rather than obeying sin's evil desires (Romans 6:12). If people keep living in sin, the show that they are not true believers (1 John 3:4-9; 1 John 3:10). Throughout the book of Romans, Paul stresses that individuals cannot be slaves ("willing servants") to sin and slaves to Christ at the same time (Romans 6:11; Romans 6:12-13; Romans 6:16; Romans 6:17). If they offer themselves to sin, the result will be condemning judgment and eternal death (Romans 6:16; Romans 6:23). BIBLE STUDY TOOLS I USE
