BY THE OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST, YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE HOLY OF HOLLIES.
A SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. BUT...THROUGH CHRIST YOU CAN HAVE FORGIVENESS AFTER REPENTANCE WHEN YOU BREAK THE LAW.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?
WHEN YOU CONVERT AND ARE BAPTIZED YOU COME OUT AS A NEW PERSON. THE OLD YOU DIES BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS FALL SHORT WHILE IN THE FLESH.
6:4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
IN OTHER WORDS, SYMBOLICALLY WHEN YOU ARE BAPTIZED YOU ARE GOING TO THE TOMB LIKE CHRIST DID AND COME UP INTO RESURRECTION.
6:5 For if we have been planted together (GREW TOGETHER) in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection:
YOU WERE RESURRECTED WITH HIM.
6:6 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.
SINCE YOUR OLD SELF IS GONE YOU SHOULD NOT BE A SLAVE TO SIN ANYMORE.
HOW CAN THIS BE SINCE WE WILL FALL SHORT FROM TIME TO TIME?
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN YOU NOW. THE SPIRIT CONVICTS YOU EVERY TIME YOU FALL SHORT. HE WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU WENT ASTRAY AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART AND REPENT.
6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
ONCE YOUR SIN IS RESOLVED YOU ARE IN PARADISE.
6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:
YOUR SINS UP TO THAT TIME ARE ERASED.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR OLD YOU IS ERASED.
BUT...YOU STILL NEED TO REPENT EVERY TIME YOU FALL SHORT.
6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him.
HE DEFEATED DEATH.
BE OF SERVICE TO HIM.
MAKE A NOTE OF HEBREWS 2:12-14.
6:10 For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.
HE IS GOD FOREVER BECAUSE HE IS IMMAUEL (GOD WITH US).
6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
CHRIST DIED TO RECONCILE AND DEFEAT DEATH.
SALVATION COMES ONLY THROUGH CHRIST.
6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
DON'T ALLOW THE LUSTS OF YOUR FLESH TO TAKE OVER YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF.
6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield (DEDICATE) yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
DON'T SERVE SIN.
THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE (JOHN 8:32).
6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
DON'T LET SIN HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: YOU RAISE ABOVE IT THROUGH GRACE.
6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
ACTS OF OBEDIENCE INDICATE THE MASTER SERVED.
6:16 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?
WHO IS DEATH? SATAN IS AND IF YOU SIN UNDER HIM YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT.
YOU ARE A SERVANT TO HIM WHOM YOU OBEY.
GOD DOES NOT EXPECT PERFECTION BUT MATURITY.
6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine (A WAY OR MOLD) which was delivered you.
THE MOLD IS THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST; THE MOLD WILL RULE AND MAKE YOUR FAITH STRONGER.
THIS IS THE PATH YOU SHOULD FOLLOW.
6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
WHEN YOU SERVE HIM, GOD CAN USE YOU TO DO HIS WORK.
6:19 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.
MUCH BETTER TO FOLLOW CHRIST THAN TO FOLLOW SATAN.
6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
WHAT DID YOU GAIN FROM SIN? THE FRUIT OF SIN IS DEATH.
6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness.
WHEN YOU BECOME FREE OF SIN YOU GAIN HIS BLESSINGS.
EVERY TIME YOU REPENT YOU GET BACK INTO RECONCILING WITH GOD.
6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS THROUGH REPENTANCE.
THE LAW CANNOT SAVE YOU BUT IT REMINDS YOU OF YOUR SINS.
GOD BLESS
