Does God's infinite grace mean we have a "license to sin"? In this Sunday evening study, our guest speaker Parker Reynolds dives into **Romans chapter 6** to answer the question Paul poses: "Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?".While it's true that where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, Paul is clear that this is not an invitation to live an unrepentant life. We explore the transformative power of the gospel, the symbolism of baptism as a death and resurrection, and why true grace leads to a life of radical obedience rather than a "crook's admirable arrangement" of sin and easy forgiveness.**Key Topics Covered:****The Debt We Can't Repay:** Why good deeds alone cannot tip the scales of our guilt or atone for our sins.**The Beauty of the Gift:** Exploring how justification comes as a free gift through the redemption found in Jesus Christ.**The Meaning of Baptism:** How being buried with Christ in baptism allows us to rise and "walk in newness of life".**Grace vs. License:** Deconstructing the flawed logic that "I like sin and God likes forgiving," and why sin remains destructive to our lives and relationships.**Instruments of Righteousness:** The call to renounce worldly passions and align our will with God's purpose as "zealous for good works".

If you've ever wondered why the Christian life can feel like a constant uphill battle — even after giving your life to Christ — this episode speaks directly to that struggle. Pastor Lawrence opens Romans 6:1–14 to show us that lasting transformation doesn't start with willpower. It starts with understanding what actually happened to you the moment you placed your faith in Jesus.Paul's message is urgent: you can't change your life if you don't know your identity. This episode unpacks the powerful "consider and present" framework from Romans 6, confronts the lies that keep believers stuck, and points to the grace that sets us free — not just from sin's penalty, but from sin's mastery.Show Notes & Key Takeaways:1. Change will never happen if you don't know what happened when you became a Christian (Romans 6:1–10)Paul asks "don't you know?" three times — establishing that knowing the truth of your union with Christ is the non-negotiable starting point for transformation.2. Change begins the moment you believe in the righteous identity God has declared over you (Romans 6:11)"Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." — Romans 6:11This isn't wishful thinking. It's reckoning — choosing to believe what God declared even before you feel it. As with Abraham, belief comes first, and strength follows.3. Change happens when you stop trying to make yourself better and offer yourself to the One who can make it happen (Romans 6:12–14)"Offer yourselves to God… as an instrument of righteousness." — Romans 6:13Two movements: Consider (your new identity) + Present (your whole self to God). This is how transformation flows.Referenced in This Episode:J.I.

In Romans 6:1-4, Paul confronts a question that still matters today: if God's grace covers sin, does it really matter how we live? This message reminds us that grace is not permission to stay the same; it is the power of God that changes us from the inside out. Through Christ, the old life has been buried, sin no longer gets the final word, and believers are called to walk in newness of life. Christianity is not just about forgiveness; it is about resurrection, transformation, and a new identity in Jesus.

In this MOTW Pastor Zack dives into Romans 5–7 as Paul tackles a timeless question: If we're saved by grace, does sin still matter? Through powerful contrasts between Adam and Christ, Paul reminds us that grace isn't permission to sin, it's power over sin. We don't fight for victory; we fight from a place of victory in Jesus. This message calls us to stop striving for self-justification and instead surrender fully to the finished work of the cross.
Dead to Sin, Alive to God. Romans 6:1-11. Lead Pastor Michael Clary
This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our study in Romans with a message from Romans 6:1–14. As Paul turns from what God has done for us to how we are called to live, we're reminded that grace is not a license to sin, but it's the power that frees us from it. Through this passage, we're invited to understand who we are in Christ and to live in light of that new reality.

Central Baptist Church in Kansas City Sunday sermon with Samuel Nelson. Romans 6:1-14
Exploring Romans 6 and the call to walk in the newness of life through Christ's resurrection.We studied Romans 6:1–15, reflecting on the question, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” and the clear biblical answer—God forbid. We discussed how believers are called not to live under the dominion of sin but to walk in the newness of life made possible through Christ's death and resurrection. We emphasized the importance of submission to God's will, allowing His Spirit to guide us rather than the desires of the flesh.Our discussion turned toward the protection of proper teaching, noting how what we hear and submit to shapes our spiritual growth. We reflected on the concept of the “gospel within the gospel”—the continual experience of God's healing, grace, and protection as we remain rooted in truth. The conversation highlighted that sound doctrine is not just theological accuracy but a safeguard for our souls, drawing us deeper into the fullness of God's truth and grace.We concluded by emphasizing the vital role of the local assembly in spiritual maturity. Fellowship, teaching, and accountability all serve as means through which God preserves and strengthens His people. True growth, we agreed, comes through hearing, receiving, and walking in the Word together.Themes:Freedom from sin through Christ's death and resurrectionSubmitting the will to God and living by the SpiritThe “gospel within the gospel” as continual healing and protectionThe importance of sound doctrine and discernment in hearingSpiritual maturity through local fellowship and accountabilityScripture References: Romans 6:1–15Reflection Question: How can we actively walk in the freedom of Christ's resurrection while guarding our hearts through sound teaching and daily submission to God's Spirit?
Bib-Lit Summary Oct 12,2025 Mark gives us a lot to think about in this lesson from Romans 6:11-13 Mark introduces us to a Novel by: C. E. Lewis, The Chronicles of NARNIA, The Silver Chair. In this mystical novel Lewis is asking a question through stories; Primarily What is Real? Mark addresses this through a detailed look at Romans 6: 11-13 1. Rom. 6:11, So you must consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Paul, in verse 9, says we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again. He died to sin but the life he lives he lives to God. Some of the sins we struggle with are greed, envy, honesty and pleasures. a. Align yourself with reality b. Believe what God Says c. Count yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ d. Do this every moment Dead to Sin --- Alive to God in Christ. 2. Rom. 6:12, Let choice not sin, therefore reign in your mortal body to make you obey its passions. 3. Rom. 6:13, Do not present your members to sin as instruments or unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life and your members to God as instruments or righteousness.

Romans 6:11 — Christians are alive unto God in the reign and realm of God. They were dead in sin, but now have been raised together with Christ into an entirely new sphere. But what does it mean to be alive to God? In this sermon on Romans 6:11 titled “Dead to Sin, Alive to God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches about the new relationship the Christian has with God. “The most terrible thing about a life of sin is that you are not open to the blessings of God,” he states. Common graces are not the real blessings of God; they pale in comparison to these spiritual promises. To be alive unto God means to be part of His purpose. Christians are united to Christ because they are now in Him and members of His body. Be encouraged and learn the result of being in God and the importance of the word “never.” The same Spirit that comes upon the Christian was in Christ. God has begun this work in the Christian and He will complete this work. Be dead to sin and alive to Christ. This helps the Christian fight sin through the great assurance and confidence this gospel provides. The joy of the Lord is the Christian's strength. Rest on the sure and perfect word of God.
