Romans 6:1-11

Romans 6:1-11

These scriptures are key for what I will share this week. When our 

kids were younger we memorized them but neither the parents

nor the children had a clue what they meant!

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace

may abound? 

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer

therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus 

Christ were baptized into His death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism in death:

that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of

the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of

his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the

body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should

not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also

live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;

death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in Him all died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth

he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves dead indeed unto sin, but

alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
