Romans Chapter 6 Discussion Page 12

Jake, the scripture is referring to both water baptism and baptism of the Spirit. Acts 2 38 says Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. In order for our sins to be truly remitted. We must be baptized with water. Many do not believe this. If one doesn 't believe this than one is calling God a liar.

Michael, I think you are interpreting death from an earthly perspective from what you have experienced about the idea of death. If I interpreted life from this same perspective then I would believe that all life, at some point, must end. Just as there is a spiritual eternal life, there is also an eternal death.

loved it.

We must see ourselfs free from sin and resist sin

Baptism here is not referring to water baptism but rather Spirit baptism. I am buried with Christ so that as He rose from the dead, I too might walk in newness of life

Michael, I can 't say I agree with you. However, I think I understand why you re interpreting verse 7 to mean there is no eternal fire as you put it. You ve got to understand that verse 7 is for the true believers in Christ Jesus. Because when we continue reading on into verse 8 we understand that the dead verse 7 is referring to are the dead with Christ, or those who die believing in Christ, Not those who reject Christ. So this verse doesn t negate any doctrine about eternal fire or hell at all. Also, believers and non believers, will suffer at least bodily death unless the rapture happens and those whose names are not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire, which is called the second death. See Revelation chapter 20. Plus, in Mark Chapter 9 43 47, I believe Jesus is placing about as much emphasis on hell being a real and eternal place as we need. When you read it, notice how He keeps repeating himself in order to make his point very clear.

In modern English ... ".The wages sin pay is death " Whish means that there is nothing else to paid as regards one sin again . That completely negates the false doctrine of eternal fire of he 'll which simply means "the grave ". Adam Eve were told.. " dust you are and to dust you shall return for their sin. The God of live does not punish mankind in a fiery burning furnace for eternity.

Romans 6 6 sounds more like death to sin rather than death to desires Galatians 5 24 would relate more to death unto our own desires 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with it s passions and desires

Romans 6 20 Christian have to be obedient to God s word and stay away from the daily worldly sin

I Love Romans The whole book This chapter to me speaks a love that is so huge That in all our sin God still loves us He set us apart sanctified wooo Its more of a choice on our part if we love God we know he loves us we must CHOOSE to be obedient to him his word Its for sure a heart thing

This scripture just made it clear that after giving our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and baptism which signifies death with Christ and alive with resurrection We have no business with sin and holiness with fruit lets do away with sin

Gods grace is amazing u cant work for it bt Christ died 4 us to obtain grace thank u Jesus 4 yo precius blood

love his Book in the Bible It really opens my eyes and assures me that God will Save me from Sin.

As it written for the wages of sin is death but GOD s free gift is enternal life in union with christ jesus our lord

for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. Get save and filled with the holy ghost if you want to live. Obey God when you get saved you are no longer under the law you are under Gods grace.

When do u suppose the white horse appears in the apolcylips

Spectacular verse. If you are sinning u are of the devil, if you are on the riteousness side you are certainly of God

Hi my name is heather and I don't know how to look up verses can you help me?

This clearly says: Why be ashamed of things that are now dead? Reason: You are a new man!! Not the old one. Upon being "Born again" old things have passed away and ended with the flesh. Dead INDEED to sin AND? That's right now. ( Romans 6:11 confirms this.) Romans 6:5 even incredibly says we are like Christ at resurrection!! Amazing. Anyone who thinks we or he/she could fail better ponder LOTS more before denying Jesus's gift to all the Father sent him. Serious business. He won't lose any of them you know. ( John 6:39) The Pharisees did this. Trying to hold even Jesus accountable to the Law which justifies NO ONE. Note we are under GRACE not law after being saved. Do not be a foolish Galatian ( Galatians 3:1-2). Praise the Lord. GOOD news. Best ever. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lts us dead to sin so that we shall be the Greatest in The Kingdom of Heaven

I love the word of God!
"God word is true, and no other like him. Only one God, "God of Israel, and now we are God people, because we seek him to be our God; and put our faith, and trust in the Lord and believes in him. (Jesus Christ.)

This verse is a sad reality. No one has been able to escape being a slave to sin and this leads to us all receiving what sin pays and that is death. The only hope that we have is based on God's undeserved kindness that he willingly gave us in the sacrifice of his Son, Jesus Christ. When we really take time to meditate and think about what God has done for us, we should really be grateful and show our gratitude by the way we live our lives.

For us to get rid of the manifestation of the flesh, we must deal with the flesh itself, not just the individual manifestations. God abhors the old nature, therefore we should deny ourselves and carry the cross to follow our master Jesus Christ.

This is outstanding word of God. The word at the right time

The New Covenant of...GRACE.
Purchased by...Jesus Christ Our Lord.
My chains are gone... I've been set FREE.
Thank You JESUS

loud and clear that we have to accept Jesus as our personal saviour to have eternal life,,Lord Jesus as a baptist i truly accept you iloveu my God,,

If we love him let us live by His words and killing the old man each day and let the new man Jesus Christ be seen

(Verse 15) "So since God's grace has set us free from the law, does this mean we can go on sinning?" It is basic and fundamental that we believe that Jesus is God. John 1:1:"... And the Word was God." John 8:24: "For unless you believe that I am who I say I am, you will die in your sins." This is so because it is the death of Jesus as God that sets us free. Paul makes this plain in 1 Timothy 2:3 when he referrs to Jesus as "God our Savior."

That is why good preaching is important. Because if we do not tell the people the truth, they will never know the real Jesus, and never come to salvation!

(Verse 12)"Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires." This means that after having been set free from sin, and we choose to continue in it, we place ourselves back under sin's control. That is, we loose our salvation. Hebrews 6:4 says that it is impossible to restore to faith those who have once been enlightened.

So even with our new nature, our sin nature is still with us. God will not take it away. That is, he leaves it in us to always remind us of what we have been saved from. Otherwise, we would soon forget, and think that we were always good. Or that we no longer need to be thankful for Christ saving us. This means that we have to fight against it every day. But with God's spirit we can win the fight. So as Paul says in Romans 7:25, "I thank God, the answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."

(Verse 2) "Since we have died to sin." This means that if we are dead, legeally, we are no longer under sin's control. That is, sin has done its job and killed us. But how did we die? We died and were buried with Christ. Baptism pictures this. Going under the water pictures our dying with Christ to our old way of life, and coming up out of the water pictures Christ giving us a new way of life after we have been saved.

(Verse 5) "Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised as he was." That is, Christ was our stand in. So when he died, in the eyes of the law we died, too. That is what Paul means by "our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ." So again, we are no longer slaves to sin because our old crucified self is dead. And by the power of God, a new self has taken its place.

So we should consider the old me dead, and live for God through the new me. And all of this came about by God's grace-his willingness to give us something we did not deserve.
