Romans 6:1-2 (NASB20)
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

What truth is this scripture putting forth….?
That God has indeed made a way that the believer can indeed no longer continue in sin….
This is an enormous statement, a most glorious one, if in fact it is true…. But then it is scripture so therefore it must be true if in fact one could understand the truth that was being put forth…. The truth that is being put forth is the truth that a believer should not continue in sin, so any correct understanding of the scripture must produce that fruit…. It can produce none other if in fact scriptures themselves indeed are from God…
This scripture says that the believer is dead to sin, the scripture does not say that sin is dead, but it says the believer is dead to it…. So then what is meant by the saying that one is dead to sin….? Consider……
If one were to fall over dead right this instant and in a few moments Mr Sin would come by and say ‘come on get up, come on let’s go sin’…. It would be impossible for that dead one to get up and go sin because that one was dead and incapable of getting up and responding….. Therefore does scripture say ‘let not sin reign in your mortal bodies’ because now by virtue of being joined with Christ in His death the believer has been set free from the necessity of sinning…. The believer can still sin, if the believer wants to, but the believer doesn’t have to if that one will believe what scripture says when it says one is joined with Christ in His death…. Because he that has died is indeed set free from sin…. For to the degree this truth is grabbed onto to that degree will the believer be set free from sin to walk in newness of life….
Oh, to accept Christ’s salvation on His terms and walk in the truth of it, life is indeed a most wonderful gift and the gift of life in Christ Jesus even a more wonderful…..
Blessings all and may God open up the truths of our salvation in Christ in a deeper and deeper way…..
To our great God and Savior be all glory honor and praise….
