Romans 6:Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ pt 4

15 Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! 16 Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. 17 Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. 18 Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.
  • just because we are free ed from the law we still shouldn't break it
  • we become slaves to whom ever we obey
  • if we become a slave to sin we become a slave to death
  • if we choose to obey christ it will lead to living a life worth living
  • the romans chose this new life which allowed them to be free from sin and live a righteous life.
Being free from sin is about making the choice to whom we want to obey. If we choose to obey God we will be free'd from death and eternal life awaits, but if we choose sin only death awaits.
Just because God shows us grace doesn't mean that we can take advantage of it. we should commit ourlives to his ways and choose him as our master.
