We are saved by Christ’s life - verse 10

Well if I already have it, then I can just live any way I like and Jesus will sort it out.

I can sin as much as I like or I really don’t have to do anything it all depends on Jesus – praise God?

How then shall we live?

Romans 5:12-6:14

“This is an important section

where all the lines of Paul’s thinking converge, both those of the preceding chapters and those of the chapters to follow.”

“This difficult portion of the

Epistle, packed with close reasoning and theological terminology, stands at the very heart of the development of Paul's thought.”

Adam & Jesus

Sin into the world Disobedience All mankind affected Death Condemnation Death reigns Powerless

God’s grace Far greater than

trespass Overcomes sin of the

whole world Justification Life for all people Righteousness

reigns Eternal

One act of trespass = condemnation and

death for all mankind. One act of righteousness = justification and

life for all mankind.

One act of disobedience by one man = the many were made sinners

One act of obedience by one man = the many are made righteous.

Grace

God’s grace can never be

exhausted by our sin? There is no sin that the grace of

God cannot forgive.

Grace

Shall we continue to sin so that grace

may increase? 6:1-14 (our passage today)

Shall we sin because we are under grace, not law? 6:15-7:6

Is the law sin? 7:7-12 Did the good law cause death? 7:13-

25

How then shall we live?

Rasputin

Shall we remain in our sin so that grace may

increase? By no means! Away with the nation! Perish the

thought! No way!

How we live matters a lot!

How we live matters a lot!

How we live matters a lot!

Do not let sin reign in your heart, Do not offer your bodies to sin. Rather offer your bodies, every part of

you to God. Let Him, who has given you life use you

for righteousness. Sin is no longer your master. You are not under the law, but under

grace.

So how should we live?
