DVD LESSON
Romans (Lesson 9) = Sanctify

Being saved is the beginning of your being renewed to the knowledge from our creator.

Romans 6:1-12

In session nine Paul teaches that we are saved from the penalty of sin, we are being saved from the power of sin, and we will be saved from the presence of sin. He shows us that we are a new creation in Jesus Christ.

CHAPTER 6

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
7 for he who has died is freed from sin.
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,

GROUP DISCUSSION
• We can not expect to be “sin-less”, but we DO need to try to SIN LESS!
• We fall down, but we get up, for a sin is just a sinner who fell down.
• Sometimes we put a label on things, rather than admit fault / sin
