1-28-2015 Romans 6:15-23
S. 15 What then? Shall
we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know
ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are
to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed
from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then
made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after
the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have
yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity;
even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20 For
when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21 What
fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of
those things is death. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants
to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
O. Righteous people are dead to sin and
do not serve sin.
A. People who sin are sinners, not
Christians. It is impossible to be both Saint and sinner at the same time. If I
am dead to sin then the doctrines of sin being a normal part of living are a lie.
I “can” sin but I am not doomed to sin.
P. Father; keep me from sin and teach
me to always be an overcomer. My flesh, mind and soul are yours. Give me wisdom
to see each temptation and never fail. Amen.
