Dead to sin, alive in Christ!

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live any longer in it?”
– Romans 6:1-2

“What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Certainly not!”
– Romans 6:15

We, as Christians, are to be dead to sin. Before we were saved, we were in bondage to sin. But Jesus paid the ransom for us and now we are free! Why then would we go back??? Just because there is grace doesn’t mean that we should take advantage of that!

If you read Romans 6, you will find that Paul speaks a lot about being a slave. Whose slave are you? We don’t have to be slaves to sin, we have been set free! “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves to righteousness” (Romans 6:18).

Fight against your sin! Ask Jesus for help; He is there for you! He will never ever leave you! It is a struggle, but it is worth it!

“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.”
– Romans 6:22
