Pastor Blaine teaches that because believers are united with Christ, their old sinful self has been crucified and no longer has dominion over them. Salvation changes both our position before God and how we practically live in this life. Christians are no longer slaves to sin but are called to live under Christ's lordship, presenting every part of their lives—heart, mind, speech, and actions—as instruments of righteousness. Blaine emphasizes that true freedom isn't found in autonomy or self-rule, but in submitting to Jesus as Lord. Obedience flows from grace, not law, and the Christian life is marked by ongoing repentance, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and a daily choice to live in light of what Christ has already accomplished.

Romans 6-8

In this episode of the MRO off-season Bible reading plan we share a short devotion on Romans 6.

14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.1.What are some "rules," expectations, or authorities (even seemingly minor ones) that you find yourself resisting or wanting to bend, and what drives that resistance?2.Sin makes a deceptive offer of freedom and satisfaction, but it's a lie. Can you share an experience where something you pursued, thinking it would bring freedom or satisfaction, ultimately led to the opposite (the "wages of sin")? 3.Do you have a story about a time when you make a hard, righteous decision that led to deep satisfaction?4.Do you ever find yourself trying “autonomous morality” to avoid slavery? How does it work or impact you?5.Is there any place in your life now or in the past where you were unconsciously relying on cheap grace?6.What makes Jesus a master worth following? Are there any ways in your life in 2026 you hope to follow him more closely?

In this episode, we will discuss the book of Romans with questions centered around Romans 6, what the ultimate hope described in chapters 5 and 8 is all about, and whether Junia was actually an apostle.

Pastor Blaine teaches that because believers are united with Christ, sin no longer has authority over them. Romans 6 shows that salvation doesn't just forgive sin—it fundamentally changes who we are. Through Christ's death and resurrection, Christians have died to their old selves and been raised to new life, meaning they are no longer slaves to sin but servants of righteousness. Blaine emphasizes that grace is never a license to keep sinning; instead, grace empowers obedience. The call of the passage is to live in light of what is already true—counting ourselves dead to sin, actively turning away from it, and offering our lives fully to God as people who have been made alive in Christ.

Discover how both your relationships and faith can flourish when rooted in unconditional love—Andrew explains why performance should never dictate your worth before God.

At the heart of the gospel is the doctrine of union with Christ – we are in Christ, and he is in us. As we turn the corner on another year, we pause to look more closely at this reality. In this sermon, we consider the simple truth that union with Christ requires death.

More Like the Master (Romans 5:15-23)

Joel continues his journey through the Book of Romans, chapter 6, verses 1-2.

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.The sermon begins by asking "Why should you try to be and do good?" What typically motivates you to act morally or pursue goodness, and how does Paul's identity-based rationale compare to those?Paul states that in baptism, Christians are "baptized into his death" and become "set free from sin." What does it practically mean for you to consider yourself "dead to sin," and what implications does this have for how you view temptation?Bob said fighting sin is not about "sheer determination, hard work, white knuckling it," but about "living real-time in Jesus." What has been your experience with willpower in resisting sin, and how might focusing on union with Christ offer a different path?The sermon provides two scenarios (nasty email, internet shopping) to illustrate real-time application. Can you share a personal struggle or temptation and discuss how intentionally "choosing to be in Jesus" might transform your response in that specific situation?What are the things that make you conscious of being in Christ? What practices or rhythms in your life help you actively "reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God"?Paul concludes the passage with "you are not under law, but under grace." How does understanding your identity through grace, rather than law, impact your self-perception, your approach to personal change, and your relationship with God?

"If we are justified by faith and cannot lose our salvation, why not just go on sinning?That question—raised by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Jews, and even by the Pharisees in Paul's day—is not new. The Apostle Paul faced it directly in Romans 6: “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” His answer: By no means! But the reason he gives is crucial—union with Christ.In this sermon, we see that the believer's sanctification is not grounded in self-effort, fear, or uncertainty, but in the reality of being united to the risen Christ. If you are in Christ, you have died to sin with Him and are raised to newness of life with Him. You cannot be united to Christ for justification without also being united to Him for sanctification.Sanctification, therefore, is not an optional add-on—it necessarily flows from union with the Holy One Himself. True holiness is not achieved by striving in the flesh but by abiding in Christ through the Spirit, prayer, the Word, and worship.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. Romans 6 is showing us how we are to live differently because Christ set us free from the power of sin. In the first lesson we looked at how we have died to sin and are to live a new life. Our baptism represents this change as we unite ourselves to Christ.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. Romans 5 has proclaimed the powerful work of Christ to reverse our condition as we were under the power of sin. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). But Christ's magnificent, saving work requires a response. In our last lesson we noted the apostle Paul teaching that our baptism means something.

Slaves to Righteousness

In Episode 274 of the Beers & Bible Podcast, we continue our journey through Romans 6 by looking at verses 13–23 and what it really means to be “alive from the dead” in Christ. We unpack Paul's call not to present our bodies as instruments of sin, but as instruments of righteousness, and talk about how the Christian life after conversion is both fully dependent on God's grace and yet genuinely involves our effort. Sanctification isn't “let go and let God”—it's Spirit-empowered, grace-fueled striving as we make use of the means of grace: God's Word, prayer, and corporate worship.We also explore what it means to no longer be under law but under grace—no longer crushed by the law's condemnation, but freed by Christ's righteousness to pursue holiness. Paul's imagery of slavery runs through the passage: once slaves of sin, now slaves of righteousness. We discuss why “righteousness” should still be a central goal for believers, how our lives are meant to surpass the outward religion of the Pharisees in heart-level obedience, and how Romans 6:23 ties it all together: the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ultimately, this episode presses us to fight sin, pursue righteousness, and worship God out of deep gratitude for His undeserved grace.

20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But […]

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. Romans 5 is to be a life-changing chapter. Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God (Romans 5:1). Through Christ we have access by faith into grace in which we stand (Romans 5:2). We rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:3). We rejoice in our sufferings because we […] The post Risen With The Gospel (Romans 6:1-5) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Dead to Sin

In Episode 273 of the Beers & Bible Podcast, we continue our journey through Romans 6 and dive deep into the doctrine of regeneration—what it really means to be “born again.” Drawing from R.C. Sproul's teaching, we explore how regeneration is the supernatural, monergistic work of the Holy Spirit, bringing spiritually dead sinners to life. We talk about this “new genesis” and how it leaves no room for boasting, only deep humility and gratitude before a gracious God.From there, we consider what has actually happened to us in Christ: we have died with Him, been raised with Him, and are now called to live as people who truly possess newness of life. We unpack Paul's language about the “old man” being crucified with Christ, the “body of sin” being dealt with at the cross, and what it means that we are no longer slaves to sin—even though we still wrestle with indwelling sin daily.Finally, we look at Paul's command to reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. We talk about true freedom, the myth of neutral “free will,” and why understanding our union with Christ is essential for real growth in holiness. This episode is an invitation to stop thinking like slaves, start thinking like those raised with Christ, and to see obedience not as bondage—but as the freedom we were created and re-created to enjoy.

In this episode of The Story of Scriptire, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss what disciples and theologians throughout the history of the church consider the most important passages written by the apostle Paul. How do these passages fit within God's story of redemption a for the Christians of the first century and how are they relevant today?

In Episode 272 of the Beers & Bible Podcast, we step into Romans 6 and look at the vital connection between justification and sanctification—between being declared righteous in Christ and actually growing in holiness. Paul's famous question, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” sets the tone, and we unpack why his answer—“God forbid”—absolutely destroys the idea that grace is a license to sin.We talk through the historic charge of antinomianism at the time of the Reformation and walk through three different “equations” of faith and works, showing why the biblical, Reformation view insists that true faith inevitably produces real change. From there, we tackle the idea of “carnal Christianity” and show from Scripture why a person who is truly regenerated cannot remain unchanged, even if growth is slow and messy.Finally, we explore what it means to be baptized into Christ, united with Him in His death and resurrection, and called to walk in “newness of life.” We consider our natural state as spiritually dead and slaves to sin—and the astonishing reality that in Christ we've been made alive by the power of the Holy Spirit. This episode will encourage you to take sin seriously, rest in your justification, and pursue holiness with confidence in the resurrection power already at work in you.

Fr. Mike highlights the boldness of Peter and John in our reading from Acts as they stand before the council of church leaders and defend the name of Jesus. He also addresses Paul's writings on God's grace given to us in our sinfulness and the war between good and evil present within ourselves.
