In this message, we dive into Romans 6:1–11 and explore why Paul wrote this chapter and what it means for every believer. After laying a foundation in the first five chapters of Romans — showing that salvation is by grace through faith, not works — Paul anticipates a pressing question:

“Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?” (Romans 6:1)

Paul answers without hesitation: “Certainly not!” He explains that when we are saved, we are spiritually united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Our old self is crucified, sin is dethroned, and we are freed to live a new life empowered by God.

In this teaching, you will discover:

• What it truly means to die to sin and live in Christ

• How baptism symbolizes our union with Jesus’ death and resurrection

• The freedom from sin’s dominion that is ours in Christ

• How to reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God, even before your experience catches up

Whether you’re new to the faith or seeking a deeper understanding of sanctification, this message will help you grasp the positional reality of being in Christ and inspire a life lived in freedom and newness of spirit.
