CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Romans 6

Paul rejects the idea that grace gives believers permission to continue in sin. Those baptized into Jesus Christ are identified with His death and raised to walk in newness of life. Believers are told to reckon themselves dead to sin and alive to God, refuse sin’s reign, and yield their members to God. They are not under law but under grace, yet grace does not authorize sin. The chapter ends by contrasting sin’s wages—death—with God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
